your can get a used one at most wrecking yards for about 100 dollars. i know Cork Sport makes one for the SOHC but im not sure on price you will have to call them. and Changing the ECU is pretty easy, just a couple of 10 or 12mm nuts and a couple of wire clips to pull out. about a 10-15 minute job if your kinda slow or half a**ing it. pretty easy.

Where is the ECU located anyway?

Is it the same place on the RS and GS?
