I wish they were open source. Then i could program whatever algorithm i wanted in to them.

I've been looking around for an appropriate open-source ecu myself. There are a few around but none that really address 'lazy ecomodding' as far as I know.

I think what you are thinking of is something like an Injector-Controller that's customised for ecomodding useage.

Another option might be to drop a more modern engine into that Mercedes, say from a Mercedes A180. Those old Mercedes engines were pretty lethargic and the newer ones might have similar power just use a lot less fuel.
