Corksport sells it. It is basically a piggyback that controls fuel and eliminates your MAF sensor with a MAP...im thinkin bout it seriously....

Consider doing a Megasquirt instead. Lots cheaper.
That way you can remove the entire stock ecu.

wiring nightmare?
You use the stock wiring harness, thats what I`m going to do.
$650 for a piggyback is just ridiculous imho.

I must say that I find this MAP ECU to be fairly expensive considering it only does fuel when other piggybacks like PerfectPower SMT6 and Greddy E-Manage handle both fuel and ignition control.
At $650us you are heading really close to full standalone territory and full ECU options like the Haltech,SDS or MicroTech would be more practical IMHO.
Just my 2cents.

Dont you have to assemble the megasquirt?

you can buy it preassembled, its like $270 USD, in that area i think + the cost of a few other things and your ready to install

Ive seen Megasquirt v 3.0 on ebay completely assembled and tested along with all the sensors you need and the wiring harness as well for like 370 + Shipping.
This is pretty much a standalone 12x12 fuel and spark tables, not to mention lots of other stuff.
Im going to Give it the ole' college try within the next month or two.

Some ppl say to stay away from Megasquirt but I think they are great cause you pay for what you need, not any extra stuff you can't ever use like VTEC stuff...
