    burnt ECU

    hi everyone. Just like the title says my ECU got some damage to it, according to my ICV kept on running while the key off. I took out the ECU #173 and open it I saw this ECU was some how rebuild in 2006 and the looked at the job that they did was horrible as far my electronic skill I can say it look really bad. One of the component there they are joint up many legs on, I tried to separate them but no point the printed nine was already cut.
    so here my problem I still can drive the car with this ECU and the battery always drain.
    if I want to buy another ECU let say the MS DIY kit and build it myself. What else do I need to make the MS runs with my stock engine?
    do I need to install wideband O2?
    will all the gauges on cluster works?

    if nearly future I decide to install a turbo what parts do I need to make it works?.
    my budget is small.

    sorry for my English.



    thanks

        Can't find any of them local.
        Is there any place recommended to look for?


        Thanks

          Junk yard! You can probably pick up a few and make some bucks back.
