thats a funny logic mate!
There are a good few options out there - emanage, aems, even SAFC depending on mods.
And 50quid for a standard ecu wouldn't be the worst would it?
You'll be looking at least 600 for Power FC, and another 400-500 on a good map...
Then a remap when you get turbo etc...
I'd get standard ecu till mods at stage of ecu required..
