Uberdata is more of a DIY, but if you trust your soldering abilities and won't get upset if you distroy the ECU, you can go ahead and try it yourself. There are places that will chip it for you. It isn't free but it will cost much less than Hondata.
For me, I had to buy the OBD1 ecu ($160), conversion harness ($60), chip kit ($15), and the chip burner ($85), so it is very far from cheap but I would still need to purchase the ECU and harness for Hondata.
You might want to have someone chip it for you like I said, but you need to have the chip tuned for your setup on a dyno. They can burn you a basemap to get you to the dyno, but it isn't a good idea to be driving with it more than that. There are shops out there that will tune it. Call around and see.
My best suggestion is to find a reputable shop to tune your car post-turbo and go for what they are most comfortable with.
