Right now im looking for an ECU just to upgrade from my stock one, I need a nice one but i dont have much done to my car, so i dont know, I was thinking a hondata s200???

not much point uprading.. cuz if u get a piggy back unit which u need unless you live in non emissions state.. you cant use the really good tuning ecu's .. plus after you buy the unit it costs lots of loot to have it tuned by someone who knows what thier doing... spend your money on bolt ons first or just boost and then get it tuned if you want the most for your buck

just keep in mind when you do start looking into tuning that you have an obd2 ecu .. this controls alot of the tuning availability we have on our cars.. 95 and previous have obd1 which are very good for tuning.. but if you live in a normal state that doesnt require emissions testing you can convert and buy an obd1 ECU and actually get some gains from just your bolt ons
