If you have the same MAF sensor as us, then yes, they would've had trouble with the FIC. I've got special circuitry built-in to my harnesses that allow you to properly interface that MAF sensor. I'm curious if anyone tried the FIC and DID NOT hook up the maf line...? Probably would've worked fine if they did...
At any rate...I really need to see those ECU plugs to see if they are the one's I have the PnP terminals for...and as for the MAF sensor, I can make that work.

OK. Got the pics, hope they work for you. If not, give me till tomorrow morning (I just got off from work and I'm need of a good rest) and I'll take the ecu out without unplugging it to take better pics.
I just need 2 know where to send them. I can't upload jpeg's here.
PM me... or I can upload them to cardomain and you check them out from there... OK, pics at:

From what I've read, they tried the FIC directly into the MAF wire (white/red for the RA) with no success. There was something about not making any changes in output voltage and misbehavior from the car itself with random misfire, CEL's coming up, that sort of thing. The fact is that, not many people have tried this, so everyone that reads about it just post in forums that it won't work because a friend, of a friend, of a friend, etc., said it wouldn't. Locally, people here tend to go the cheapest way possible with those magical manipulation of sensors by touch (i.e. cam sensor and crank sensor adjusment, which cost nothing but a little time to do, washers in the exhaust piping, unplugging vaccum lines, and a lot of shit like that) and then testing them on the "Butt Dyno" to say "You can feel the kick".
I bought the Federal Emissions ECU to solve my Cali ECU problem, which was close to $200. I can get a new FIC (6, right?) for about $350, and I don't know how much you would charge me for the PnP harness. All of this will probably add up to what RRE charges for the 4G AEM kit, but I don't have a 4G and I'm trying to get as far as I can with this. At the end, if it's possible, a whole new range of customers will line up for this solution (RA owners I mean), but if it doesn't I think I'll probably get half of what I've spent back, probably sell the car and just get one that I can do a lot with (not anytime soon though)...
As for the FSM, it's about 300MB... Do you know of an easy way for me to send this to you? Let me know...
