Why do you need one and what do you want to do with it?

Any stand alone will work. Mega squirt, I believe Holley has a stand-alone, many others out there. Stand alones are just that. They'll work on any engine.
Hopefully you have a stand alone trans controller also..

Look up posts from a member called MoneyOne. He was running a stand-alone on an E55K motor in a C43. I remember he had to get one that could handle the dual spark plug setup. I don't know that he ever got it running right. As was mentioned above, the issue will not be running the engine but in getting the rest of the systems to run properly.

I'm going to turbo my c43 so I need something to tune it with.

With me2.0 your best bet will probably be an fmu. Going standalone will create all kinds of issues.

It's an old school device to raise fuel pressure as boost pressure goes up. You can "tune" them with different springs to increase fuel pressure at different rates per psi/bar increase. Old school, we used them alot back in the day before ECU tuning was available.
