Im running the stock side mount intercooler. The piping goes right under the head light, it doesnt look like the original intake will sit all the way down. So it does fit? I wish i had it with me so i could try it but its at the shop.

Can anybody shed some light on these pins to move around on the maf?

Ok i put on new plug wires and it is still missing and idling low. possibly the coil packs? I was thinking maybe i have a bad maf or tps due to my low idle but it also sounds like its missing.

What about running both ECUs? Use the JDM ecu for the motor and use the USDM ecu from the original car. Then get pinouts for both, splice over the sensor wires form the new ecu into the original and be done with it. Does that work, I've read about people doing that. The car wont have traction control (who give a crap anyway) but at least everything else will work. I know the CEL light stays on because the old ecu thinks the engine isnt working right. But just like lexforlife said, pull the bulb.

hmm interesting... I was actually able to get the car running alot better. For some dumb reason I was missing the main power supply to my sensors. Running good now but it breaks up at 4k. Limp mode?
