Where can i get an aftermarket ECU? Also, what boost controller is good?

i think best bang for the buck is the greddy profec , pretty decent and you dont need to be working at nasa to make it work

did you drive your fd at wot alot with that midpipe,if you did i would have to say you most likely blew your engine, you had no boost gauge so you could not see your boost....no ecu....and no kind of boost controller you are just asking to blow that engine,get a rotary mechanic to do a compresion test and that will no doubt give you your answer.

I didnt drive the car with the midpipe for long at all, maybe a week... ill be getting it checked out asap. if i blew the engine how would it be reacting? I mean would it still boost hard and drive, or would it not work at all?

The car is driving fine, still boosts good and runs, just smokes...
