A third option would be for me to just make you a flying lead harness from the FIC to the ECU and you would have to cut and splice just like you normally would have to do. Only difference would be that the harness would already be completed, labeled, and ready to go WITH the MAF circuitry built-in. If you wanted, I could also put plugs on the ECU side so that you could easily remove the harness and plug the stock wires back in quickly.

Bottom line is that we can work it out a number of ways...but I'm sure the FIC will work, just that no one knew how to get it to interface the MAF properly...

Find a way to get that service manual to me...send it in the mail if you have to...let me know...

As for the plugs, I was thinking that it would not be cost effective as well since I believe you'd have to buy 100 or more to actually make an order. Also, I don't mind splicing or cutting into the wires, so not having the plugs isn't the issue here. What I need to do is get the circuitry you created to interface with the 4G MAF which now we know is the same for my RA, which means that the Karmann Vortex stuff said before is not the situation here. I don't have the FIC yet, but I'm in the process of getting the $$$ to get it, and if you guys made it work in the 4G, I don't see why it wouldn't work in the RA having the same circuitry and MAF sensor as the eclipse.
I bet Split Second did find the way to interface, but they don't sell the FIC!!!
Let me see if I can get a break at work to figure out how to send you the FSM. I'll be out from work at 10pm or so, so I'll also check the possibility of creating a torrent for you to download, or a space I have for website which I haven't used in a while.
Talk to you later,
Carlos
