Hello,
me and a friend are planning on turboing a 8g, specifically, a 4G63 one(EA2A).
Will the stock ECU allow it?
Is it locked, too slow or something else that would prevent its use in such a scenario?

Turbocharging an engine typically requires modifications to the engine's fuel and ignition systems, among other things. While it may be possible to use the stock ECU with a turbocharged setup, it's unlikely that the stock ECU will be able to provide the necessary level of control and tuning required for reliable and optimal performance.

The stock ECU may not have enough processing power or memory to handle the additional inputs and outputs required for a turbocharged setup. Additionally, the stock ECU's maps and parameters may not be optimized for a turbocharged engine, which could result in poor performance and potential engine damage.
