CO WTF is this??

I spent all day removing my engine and when I go to disconnect the ECU I find this weird thing hacked into it. So what is this? Aliend device, CIA tracking chip?.
anyways here's a pic. I know that it's not originally like this, I think it's some kind of "performance chip" seems like one or various of the previous owners screwed with the car

No idea. Might be a fuel cut defensor though that appears to be an NA ECU. Whatever it is, you can probably remove it.

Yeah that's what I thought, one of those dam ebay chips. I'm getting rid of it.
I'm going to use the NA engine and swap it in a vw bug, get a TII for the rx7.
