   Pretty straight forward, and yes you'll need it mapped, or say bye bye to your engine not after too long.

   Well there's loads. Depending on budget. Apparently Wayne at Chipwizards has done boost on a standard ECU.
   You can use piggyback ECU's such as a Dastec uni chip.
   There's other options like Megasquirt ECU's such as a Predator but you will be limited by people who will want to touch it.
   Then you have standalone ECU's like the Omex 600, Emerald K2 I think it is etc
   
   There's loads of options but it depends on what budget you have. Standalone is the best route as it opens up more mapping options than the others

   End of the day you get what you pay for. The more you pay the better the hardware, software, mappers capabilities etc

   Well not always but you get what I mean. Say for example an Omex is better than a Dastec Unichip. Lol
   
   What do you know anyway, you can't even reply to PM's
