I've got a very interesting question. I have an 02 that is supercharged with the Vortech kit, it has the stock ECU and this other box that piggybacks off if it, it also uses a fuel regulator with stock injectors. Since I plan on a fuel pump and better injectors later on, is it possible that this ECU can take the place of both of those pieces without having to buy a new pump and injectors and remove the fuel regulator?
So you will need at least larger injectors to begin with or you need to keep the fuel regulator with the stock injectors.

Video of first startup. Note the bang just after cranking - the timing was way off during cranking, we calibrated the base timing after that and the bang is now gone!
This was the actual first startup, the CLT and IAT calibrations were way off (IIRC it was a 10-12*C day), all these are obviously fixed now. There was also no wideband connected - the car run great on an estimated basemap!

"It should", if that means anything. We were getting weird readings with the stock knock sensor, so I opted to upgrade to a Bosch-style sensor for the dyno time, just to be on the safe side. When removed, the stock sensor appeared to have been damaged. I've see this sensor type before, and it does work with this ECU. Ideally I would want to test it on another local car, just to be sure.
