Default Upgrade question

Just wondering if I should wait until all the minor bolt ons are installed to chip the ECU. I have just ordered a Greddy exhaust, forge inlet pipe, and AFE CAI for my '02 1.8t. I'm thinking about purchasing a ECU and new diverter valve, but do not want to install it yet due to future upgrades like BOV, FMIC, injectors, FPR... will I have to re-chip it or flash it or will it adjust itself? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh yeah and does anyone know a good place to order a good quality reputable ECU and diverter valve??? I've been searching but cannot find any, plus these computers in Afghanistan suck due to satellite connection and some sites wont even load.

Buy a upgraded valve, the OEM is only really designed to handle stock boost levels. When you increase the boost you increase the air temps coming out of the turbo and those higher temps effect the stock valve.

A forge 007 is a good one if you have the money. You can interchange spring rates which is good if you are chipped
