Have moderate mods at the moment. I own an STI type RA
Has forged pistons with uprated conrods.
HKS induction kit
Blitz BOV
De-cat down pipe

Currently running bit with a PROVA ecu
Currentley running around about 320 bhp on rollers
Have to keep the dccd in mind to as it's 'connected' to the2 current ecu

The DCCD has it's own ECU, so you need not worry about that. I would recommend an Autronic plug in unit which is cheaper in the long term than the GEMS (unit is cheaper, and you don't need to buy a dongle on top to access the ECU) and the performance for cold start and general manners is better IMHO.

Motec is excellent, but you will pay for it, the I would still go with autronic if wanting to spend more, just get a wire in SM4 unit.

You might want to think about a second hand Pectel T6 - fabulous ECU and I believe that you may be able to get one at a good price

The downside is you will need a custom optical crank sensor and a customisation to the loom. The upside is that they will do a lot, a hell of a lot if you want to take advantage of it.
