I was installing my turbo over the weekend, and i was working on putting the water pipe back after pulling to install the plug into the old turbo water line. When i was putting the clamp back on the hose for the oil cooler line, i hit the back of the alternator with the pliers, causing a few sparks and pops. When we got everything installed, and went to drive it, it ran like ass and it was loading up with fuel real bad at partial throttle, but if you went wot, it ran fine and would rev out like it should. From the loading, i've fouled 4 sets of plugs, 3 sets bpr7es's and 1 set of 6's, and the last set got fouled from just idling and reving it in neutral. All sensor look good on the logger, no dead spots or anything abnormal.
So i pulled out the ecu today and looked it over, and noticed this (attached). I had the ecu out a few weeks ago to replace the caps and it didn't look like that. It's really soft and gooey.
Should i go ahead and get a new one?

Wow, I would be afraid to get it repaired. That may not be the only damaged curcuit on the board. If you smoked that component, chances are other components exceeded their manufactures limits for current/voltage/temp and might also be fried. I'd look around for another ECU.
