switching from B20 to B18B tuned on Chrome. will i need new ECU?
so my recent fully built b20 motor is being swapped out and im swaping in a JDM LS b18b and turbo charging it.
question is do i got to buy an LS Ecu or can i re-use my B20 ecu tuned on Chrome? i need a new basemap for 1.8 b/c b20 is 2.0 ?

You can re-use your old ecu tuned on Chrome. Just have to burn an ls map to it then tune it for the turbo later.

It shouldn't be much to burn a basemap. Anyone who owns a burner can do it in like 10mins tops.
