Do you have your old ecu, if so you should get the number off it and then just search the classifieds on here, audizine, and audiworld you could probably pick up a chipped ecu or stock pretty easily if not check the sticky up top for the parts places

yes there is already an ecu in your car, a chip will mod the ecu to run more boost, change timing and fuel maps, if you have a turbo. if not they do some other stuff with fuel and timing

you can just get a chip, it is recomended that you get a new Diverter Valve (DV). Its comonly known as stage 1
injectors are not needed tell you get a new turbo or u crank the boost way up and a chip will let you run about 14.5psi maybe more or less
