Umm no.. You dont need to mess with ur stock ECU wen u turbo. I turboed my RS and its a straight up bolt on with a lil Fab work. If u plan to get EMS like a full stand alone then YES thats the time you'll mess with ur ECU. If you have big cash and the patients to turbo our motors then Go For iT!! Just have a back up plan in case things go wrong in the future. Be ready to drop like 15g for our motors. Im already up to 7g just for the turbo kit and other parts. LOL thats not counting my rebuild in Jan. thats another 7g!!! HAHAHAHAH. like i said BE READY! :imsorry:

Don't scare the poor guy.j/k

He was right though. It takes a good amount of money to boost a 420a, but its worth it. You should get a synapses missing link for your map sensor or YOU WILL GET FUEL CUT AND BLOW UP YOUR BAD **** 420A :57:
