so what does that code mean then? That the ECU is fucked?

I've had P0606 fault code come up in the past - it's an integrity fault. Basically the ECU compares itself to a known good condition (in a nutshell, a self diagnostics), when it flags a problem it means it's either:
a) knackered
b) actually it's seeing another Citroen specific fault
On both cases mine was seeing another error but can't be directly read through an ELM327 diagnostics reader - you need a proper fault code reader (the proper ones that cost thousands which I can't remember the name of), anyway you need a trip to Citroen or a garage with one of those expensive jobbies. I kept clearing the 606 fault code with my ELM327 reader only for the damn thing to appear a few days later, so on a trip to manic motors (they had the expensive reader jobby) they pulled off the Citroen specific faults (which were lambda/decat related and it was fine since)
Next, if your engine is gobbling a quarter of a tank to 50 miles I'd be seriously %^&*ed off with your car.
Next, unless the EML light is actually flashing at you the car won't be in limp mode - so don't panic if it's just on.

Am I dreaming on a standard ECU?

Wouldn't bother, this why I can't be arsed with all this camming milarky on a standard ECU. I bought ph3s and I'm so so so glad I didn't have them put in. Yeah it's great pub talk to say you have a 150 hp saxo for the odd race against a sickly 172 (see above) but you have to rev the tits out of it and there's bog all torque low down, in essence the day to day driveability blows.
But I'm genuinely intrigued for CitroenSport what happens to the car - got to be timing that's the only thing left, unless the engine internals are totally fudged - also mate don't go taking it 8000 rpm (if the tachometer is to be believed) on the standard followers.
