Yes I am N/A, and I read a thread about ECU chips shortly after 180 gifted me with the clicky. It did seem too good to be true anyways...

I have a decent amount of money to spend. I'd like to NOT dump a lot at once, but slowly work at spicing things up a bit. Maybe not go over $1,500 anytime soon.

Did you mean plugs and wires for the ECU or just everything in general?
