Ordering a chipped ECU, Don't want to screw up.

Ordering a chipped ECU, Don't want to screw up.
I'm ordering a new ECU for my EG. I need a chipped one as I still have a stock GSR p28.
My question is..
What exactly am I looking for when it comes to getting the right one that suits my vehicle?
Car info:
Model: 93 EG Hatch
Engine: Poor mans Type R. GSR Bottom end, B16 Vtec head. GSR rods, cams Etc.
Heres a few eBay ECU's I happen to find, are they suitable for my hatch, or do people stay way from chipped ebay ecu's?

Thanks in advanced, much appreciated.

stay away from them, they can and will blow an engine. Go with hondata and get a tuner to tune it. Expect to spend money, dont skimp on your car bro
If you plan on just buying a chipped ecu adn then going to get someone to tune it, and not running with that tune you get from ebay, then have fun

Chipped ECUs are basemaps only. Chipped ECUs off of Ebay is a no-no. Find a tuner. Get what they recommend and then take your car to them to get a proper tune. Do anything else at your own risk.
