I've lookied into using the standard ECU and have had mates in the dyno industry have a look at the ECU circut board and eprom, and have been told that if I want to damage my motor, then fit a turbo with a standard ECU.
A microtech LT8 can be supplied and fitted for between $1500-$2000 inc tuning by Mazfix at underwood.
You will get more from the turbo, with greater efficiency, and less risk to the motor.
