   will either have a brand name (omex, kms)
   
   possibly a tuners sticker on it.
   
   pictures of your ECU will help to.
   
   does it look like this?

   Yes your car has an ECU
   
   Left hand side under the black cover just above the blue washer bottle cap, some cars may not have the cover so you will be able to see the ECU.

   If yours doesn't have a black ECU cover as seen in the pic in jinx's post, you can find them on eGay cheap enough, or if you have a local scrappy/breakers yard, have a gander around there
   
   Hope this helps
