well my ecu is fUXORED. (FRIED)

i went for a ride after installing my vafc... something went wrong.. I left with half a tank of gas.. and wen I reach 6 blocks away... i was at almost empty... car started idleing weird... acting very strange.. shaking all over the place... didnt get home on time.. ran out of gas.... went to go get gas.. tried starting the car.. NOTHING!!! i towed it to my shop.. now he tells me my ecu is fried... so.... bring on the aem standalone... now.. will I need anything else for my turbo setup.. or will this practically sum it up?

when you get something like that, your engine management is not what's going to limit the amount of boost you can safely run.

I've played with all kinds of settings adding and removing fuel by guessing. Nothing happened, but I'm gonna wait to get it tuned just in case something does.
