MSD One is good, most just remove the boost cut so there isn't really much between them anyway.

Msd one is good but for the work involved to put it into your old ecu would just get a second hand ecu or eBay comes pre done just plug and play. Plus it's cheaper than the msd one and then you can keep your stock ecu to put back in in case you want to go back to original

Buying a second hand one is a bit of a lottery as a lot have dead MAP sensors these days and you end up with static timing across the whole RPM range, that's not to say yours isn't already like that anyway! lol
But if you do go second hand try to at least get one that's been on a good running car recently.
