A large air leak would.

A broken apex seal would.

A lead coil assy not working would.

Install your cousins ECU since you suspect that.

A cracked trubo inlet duct at the turbo would ........but that's covered in my first suggestion.

Could the wiring be damaged causing the ignition system or ecu to not get enough voltage now? I know the fuse is supposed to protect that, but the wire leading out of the fuse box is what shouldn't exceed 30 amps, not all the smaller gauge wire after that. Perhaps you should check voltage at the coils, injectors, and ecu with the key on, see if it's dropped from the battery's voltage.
