for the mini-me to work the best you need the VTEC ecu from an EX or SI with the
manual or auto (whichever you have)
the only time you would need an aftermarket controller is if you are using the
stock (non-vtec) ECU. This will work fine, but the fuel maps aren't optimized
for the VTEC so you would be better off with the ECU.
