Default ERST ecu's chipped?

do both ecu's need to be chipped on a rs turbo or is it just the boost ecu that needs to be chipped?

i just had my timing "silver" ecu chipped on mine, and thats all i had heard of until recently, but a mate on here, 155lee, has had both of his chipped, not sure if this is necesary as the fuel ecu will work with more boost, mine did.

thats what i thought but i have a superchips chip on my s2 and the fuel ecu has a sticker on it aswell, and i had a few running problems and turns out to be my fuel ecu that was causing it and now i have fitted another standard fuel ecu it doesnt seem to run right on full boost

so what do they do to the fuel ecu? i have looked at the boost ecu and you can see where they put the chip in, but the fuel ecu has no signs of any work been done to it?
