2012 3.6l camaro lt ecu help

Okay so I have been searching all over the internet for help with this and I cant find anything helpful. I purchased a jet performance chip that plugs into the ecu and while installing a wire on the ecu busted. The car wouldnt start and found out the problem so temporarily I put a wire in its place so I could start the car. I dont have the Module chip in the car anymore. So I have to buy a new ECU but I cannot find one that came out of a camaro. They all come out of Impalas so if I buy one I will need to have it reflashed. Dealerships arnt really helpful here so I was wondering if anyone knows how much it would be and if I can do it myself. I was thinking about buying a performance tuner to reflash it but didnt know if I could get it to work.

FYI, "performance chips" don't work they are a waste of money. As far as I know only a dealership can program the ECU for you.
