If you want a cheap one you can check out the one I'm building for my GSL-SE. It is called Megasquirt. You have to use a distributor to control the timing but it controls the fuel and gets rid of the damn air flow meter. Find a distributer and do a conversion. It is simple and going back to a distributer isn't going to hurt power all that much, especially if you convert it to direct fire. This is also fairly simple. If you can build the ecu yourself, it will cost you less than $200. If you can't, you can buy them preassembled and tested for $325 on eBay. You can find a distributer fairly cheap. This is a very nice option and not appreciably more than a piggyback.
Other popular ones include Haltech, Microtech, Motec, Wolf, SDS (fuel only), to name a few. Typically these will start out at about $700 for fuel only control. Full ignition and fuel control can be had anywhere from about $850 on up. While fuel only control isn't perfect, it at least gets rid of that damn restrictive air flow meter.

As asked in the first few posts, does anyone here actually run the greddy e-manage system? It looks to be scalable based on your tuning goals - something I'd be interested in. The SAFC is limited to air meter adjustments, where you can add other components to the e-manage, including some data logging.

Take the stock ecu out of the car from under the carpet on the passenger side foot well. Install the new one here. All the wires you need are already here or can be run here. It is still hidden by the carpet and no one knows anything if you didn't tell them. It isn't hard to hide an ecu. You don't need a direct plug in to install one in the same spot. Who would put one in the engine bay? No inspection place would see this unless they physically take your car apart too.
