Sorry but if you can afford the intercooler, then you can afford the ECU. Get the ECU first, followed by a fuel pump then start doing air filters and intercoolers.

ooooo fair enuf not me thats spendin tho its ma dad am just the one who knows how to work a pc :P
Get the car. Then computer is probably the first thing.
After that (in a general order) is brakes, body work, electrical, fuel delivery, suspension/chassis, cooling, exhaust/inlet, then the engine.
The plan is to first make the car reliable, then make it stop, remove some weight and make it stick to the ground, make sure all the bits can handle an uprated engine, make it steer and stick better, make sure it can keep it\'s cool, make sure the gasses get in and out easier and cooler then and ONLY then, drop in a fresh engine suitable to my needs.
No point making having some parts ready to go fast when the really critical parts are still stock. The engine can\'t deal with this kinda treatment and the stock parts have minimal room for error.
Better to make sure the stock engine has a big margin for error, then bring the engine up to reduce that safety margin methinks.
This is subject to change however...
