Your check engine light came on was cause you have an aftermarket header. You will need an anti-fouler so that it can go away or put back your stock header

All of the "chips" for the tc are a gimmick. The only thing that works is a piggyback, or standalone ECU, PERIOD. Going with a piggyback/standalone + tune for N/A bolt-ons is rarely worth it. The gains are going to be in the <10whp range and the cost will be close to $800-1000 after you get the pickyback, harness, install, and tune.
