What is wrong with the stock one? Why upgrade when you have a very powerful ECU in there now. Spend the money on more Speed parts, get you a cable, EvoScan, and EcuFlash. If other guys can make 1000+whp on a stock ECU, get speed density (thanks to some GREAT minds on EVOM to this and any mods they worked on) and still make it run like stock, I just see no reason to swap unless your gonna need more datalogging ports for any type of real racing.

I agree with him, however I see you're running an Evo6, don't know much about their setup. Is there anyway to convert to a 7/8 ecu?

I believe it is possible. But the stock Evo 6 ECU is also reflashable. XMLs are available from evoscan.
