Upgrade the ECU or Not

Ok, I know I should upgrade my ecu after 2 or 3 mods but as some of you understand the problem w/ being 20, college,job,the woman the money flow ain't great. So I've got an intake, dp, cb, and boost control, if I run this setup and regulate the boost to factory setting will I still be risking a blown motor? Thanks for any advice you can give.

You are still taking a risk, especially when it gets cold, because it's like you're running an aftermarket intercooler(kinda). You can find a good use pettit, g-force, M2, etc. computer around here for between 300 and 600 bucks. Don't risk it-- $400 for computer or $3000 for engine?

Yeah ... you're borderline with as ******* cold it is in NC right now. It's not worth the risk. And how clean is your fuel system?

By the way, where the hell is Hudson?! And what kind of girl drains your money? Eeek!
