I printed a mega manual back in 03.
Now back into playing with cars again after over a decade of absence the options available are overwhelming.

Which would be the cheapest assembled board to use on my 99 Corolla that I just installed a 01 vvt engine into.

i would like an ecu and long enough pig tails to wire all the sensors up myself.

Microsquirt work? Which version?
This engine has coil on plug that I could batch fire with wasted spark.
Thanks.

If you want VVTi control, you'll need something in the MS3 family - that is supported separately at msextra.com.

A MicroSquirt can run the engine if not using VVTi though.

It may be simpler to find a good used OEM engine loom for your engine and modify to that to an MS connector. The DB37 as used on the full sized MS is a very cheap to buy connector as it is made by the millions for other uses too. You can get solder or crimp versions of the D series connectors. But do follow the MS external wiring diagram no matter which method you choose.
