There's no need to change the ecu for low to mid rwhp/boost levels with the turbo. For higher rwhp/boost levels, the entire n/a ignition needs to be beefed up, which usually means swapping ECUs. Here's a 'stage 2' kit for comparison, with an injector upgrade:
Boost Logic Stage 2 NA-Turbo Kit :: Turbo Kits :: 93-97 MKIV Supra NA :: Toyota :: Boost Logic
An n/a that's turbo'd could be considered a 'sleeper' because folks don't expect an n/a to be fast.
P.S. The turbo kit cost is just the beginning - if it's beyond your budget, consider staying n/a. Installation on top of the turbo kit $ would be about $2K or so. Honestly though, those amounts are just a drop in the proverbial bucket. More power = more $$$$. Consider installation (labor) $, tires, race fuel, regular maintenance, etc. and it all adds up... really fast.
For example, consider the fact that the oem n/a rims aren't wide enough to provide the traction needed for increased horsepower. To keep your Supra on the road and safe after the turbo upgrade, you need wider rims & tires, which is yet another $2k+.
P.P.S. There are cheaper turbo kits out there than the ones I linked to, but they are typically a huge headache - poor fitment, poor workmanship on the welds, and a sub-standard turbo means nothing but problems and additional costs both during the installation, and
long afterwards.
