A good fuel pump, decent panel, nice exhaust and a good mapper should see you right. Has the ecu been mapped before?

No mate. A ppp car has a few differences to yours. If the ecu has never been mapped before then you'll also have a license fee to pay. If I were you I'd be on the look out for an ecu that's already been mapped

If you already have the cat back and panel filter then all you need is a new fuel pump which is fairly cheap. Get any compatable ecu that's already had a map or as said to open source.

Buying another ecu which has been mapped is not the way forward. Every car and every engine is different. Its definately not something I'd advise.
Cheap power, there's no such thing. But an open source map is about as cheap as you'll get. Not only will it increase your power (which is the least important bit) but it will also improve the way the car drives.

Whats your target ?

No said anything about buying 1 and fitting it without mapping. Only avoiding a license fee which would have already been paid on an ecu that's had an ecutek map
