Nothing. You can add a piggy back to it or replace it entirely, but the actual ECU itself - nothing.

Should be Piggy Bank

Piggy back is a computer (controller) that rides on top of your existing ECU (computer). It requires the stock ECU to run the normal engine functions. It works normally by intercepting some of those control functions and modifying them and/or supplying "false" information to the host (stock) ECU so as to modify its behaviour.
