I hope you take this kindly when i say waste of time. You'll never push enough power to make that flywheel and clutch that you talked about necessary.

Ya thats true, I started out splicing but it started to be a pain in the ahha. Thats because of the BP26 ECU. It will be easier for you if you get BP harness, if you are using the BP05 ECU(that will make it all plug and play with no splicing).

Did you get the BP MAF with the engine. I know my Mx3 Maf didnt work right with my ECU.
You will have to splic in the MAF and the O2 sensor too with out BP harness.

Removing that harness isnt that hard. Plus in the long run you will be happy you did. I could remove one in 15 minutes.
