ecu + turbo?

would it be wise if i got an ECU upgrade then a turbo kit (when the come out for the 2.4) or will my car explode by breaking the sound barrier - or would it be better to get the turbo kit then the ecu - is there any relationship between the two?

sorry for this newb question - you can send hate mail to me if you wish to do so

ECU's dont really do much unless you are have a turbo or supercharger. Wait till after you go FI.

You should get them done at the same time in my opinion.

Well either way your gonna need to retune the ecu after the turbo kit. So if you really want some more power and cant wait go ahead and get it tuned NA.
