getting wierd error code and need general advice please

I have an 89T that was throwing an error code of 51, was having some rough idle and would idle around 1700RPM or so, ordered a new TPS and installed tonight, issue still exists. However now it appears to be throwing an error code of 11....which puts me in a WTF!!! mode, I have found nothing in regards to error code 11. It blinks once waits about 2-3 seconds blinks again waits 5-6 seconds and repeats. Checked TSRM and nothing. When I lay on the gas pedal it slowly goes up, once it hits 2000-2500 it sputters a bit then at about 3000RPM clears up. Im leaning towards new ECU due to the previous error code being 51, which leads me to my next question, can I use an ECU from any MKIII that is a manual tranny turbo, or only my specific year of my car? Any help in this whole dibacle of mine is very much appreciated.
