Power FC Tell her you'll pay the balance of what she can't afford

Apexi VAFC is the way to go then. Easy to program once you understand the way it works.

If you get the apexi vafc, check out http://www.jdmspecperf.com, 300 shipped but currently out of stock. Should take a week or so for a new shipment to come in.

I woudl recommend getting some more spoon for your car.
Spark plug cover, wide mirrors, springs, and more.

VAFC is your best bet, but if you didnt want one go with more Spoon goodies like B2FiNiTy mentioned

But if your thinking about an ECU, Ive got a Skunk reprogrammed OBD1 ECU and it works great
