In this case however we are talking about a reflashable newer ecu. Otherwise i would agree. I believe (at least on my eclipse) you can adjust the alter the ecu in such a way, while it is a different ecu, they are very similar.

If it wheren't for emisions I would rip that thing out so fast I would probably take the floor board with it
In this case we weren't talking about massive amounts of fuel. And flashing it isnt fooling it.
