How is it around your area that can install and tune? Check around first what help is available locally and what tuners can help you tune the specific ecu.



Also how much money do you really want to spend? You can spend anywhere from 500 - 4000 for a ecu.

For future reference, the e6k has be superseded by the e6x



E6k has be discontinued.



The new e6x is basically an upgrade from the old unit, with a few more tricks.

Word of advice, dont ever expect to get anything good for $20 but a BJ hehe



Seriously though, watch yourself on EBAY.



One question: Why do you want anything done to your ECU, whats wrong with stock? Do you have a ton of mods?
