out of all seriousness. this is not me just flaming you.

if you don't have the time to research it on your own, then you really probably should not do it.

the search button is your friend. and the broad question that you asked has been covered extensively.

No problem. I made that list a few years ago as I was learning all the parts. Some parts are oversimplified, but I just cut and pasted it.

I should add that Enthaply is a great source for tuned ECU's.
