ECU Questions
Im still very very new to this so please excuse my stupidity 
I have a MY95 JDM WRX (auto) and have looked at my ECU to find out the following:
V5
22611 AB530
A18-000 RJ4 EY09
So i would like to upgrade the ECU as i believe it may give me better performance but also be better mapped for UK Fuel.
Could i get a different ECU that is literally 'plug and play' without and further work?
If so, would the Z4 ECU be suitable (seem to be a few for sale).
There seem to be quite a few for sale on EBAY from time to time but i have no idea if they are suitable for my car, is there a list anywhere of which ECU came from what model?
Cheers for any help

Simply, no the z4 will not be suitable as you have a td04 turbo and the z4 is mapped for a td05. Really you will struggle to find an upgrade other than to have a custom map made.

Any other opinions please?
