What "Hacking" are you talking about? You classify pulling a few pins out of the ECU and re-pinning , "Hacking"? That is hardly "Hacking"! The 97 ECU upgrade to a 98-01 SR20DE isn't too large of a job. As long as you have some sort of mechanical skills, you should be able to do it. If you do not wish to try re-pinning the ECU, I suggest waiting. You will have a much safer, dependable, and reliable turbo system if you have the right engine control unit. You could aslo go the Stand Alone System route. Only problem is, you will need to do extensive dyno tuning.
