its called a piggyback.

it works WITH an ECM, not as a replacement.

The adjustability is very minimal, and you really can't do anything accurately with it with our narrow band 02 sensors.

Most people I've talked to , hate it.

So you have an ECU, but just the wrong/unchipped one?

Better rich than lean.
