Going full aftermarket ECU is a lot more expensive than 2k (with auto control) Not to mention the typical issues of auto control, error codes and wiring issues with the factory ECU and full ECU patched in together.
It is more like a 3k modification plus a bucket load of wiring and headaces over a $600 piggy back and $300 in tunning ie more than 3 times the price.
Whilst the plug in wolf units are great and there is a loom for a soarer I didn't think there was the option for a celsior yet. (I'm certain it can be done) Control of the auto and having everything running as factory is all possible and working with the wolf in soarers for a couple of years now but if you are only planning on 6psi 180-200rwkw IMO stick with the stock ECU and piggy back.
