I just finished my t3/t4 kit, and was wondering what kid of ecu was recomended or usually used? Here is current list....Would just a megasquirt work?

-Turbonetics turbo t3/t4
-Good n tight Turbo manifold
-New in box VAC 42 lb/hr high impedance injectors
-Aem uego air fuel meter with wideband sensor
-Turbonetics open wastegate(have both 12psi and 9psi springs)
-Blitz blow off valve
-Sparco front mount intercooler
-Custom mandrel bent 3 inch piping from turbo to downpipe all the way back to high flow cat and 3inch Magna flow turbo muffler
-Tapped oil pan
-All intercooler piping/clamps and oil lines needed
-14" electric fan
-3.73 LSD

As always you have a few tuning options:

1. Megasquirt
2. WAR chip/blowthrough
3. Ostrich 2.0 / TunerPro
4. TRM
5. Custom tune from a local tuner.

each option has its pros and cons.

Blueapplesoda sells a megasquirt thats plug n play. Would be worth checking into. MS seems to be the favorite among everyone. I couldnt tell you anything about it besides you can find an endless amount of info on it.
