Remember that you won't pass emissions on an AEM box as well. The Vpro at least retains the OEM ECU for that reason.

There is NO way a evo9 ECU can fit in your 8. Period. The plugs from the main harness are different. You can't put a square peg in a round hole. There is also no way you could have a 9 ROM in your ECU as all the addresses your ECU calls would be vastly different. I hate it when people get lied to.

If you have the factory ROM in your car still, you are on 94170008. That ROM was plagued by the 0300 random misfire code. Going to the factory issued reflash, which was 94170015 alleviates it partially, but the only way to be rid of the P0300 is to shut it off via the ECU periphery. You still may get random misfires, but the ECU won't trigger a CEL unless it is a major misfire.

finding a tuner for the aem ecu shouldnt be too hard to find. there are a few different people in town that can hook you up with a certified tuner.

i guess i would have to do a lil scouting around. but off the top of my head. tunners certified for aem in town . . . theres dennis at LDL , and hondoctors have there tunner servion do there cars. the hard part is finding an AWD dyno to rent and even thats kinda easy. Dougs dyno power. / early evo has a AWD dyno and alot of evos running stock ecu's are tunned at his facility and by him. bro you should come to the meet on thursday on sahara so you can meet some new folks and maybe check out what were all running.

Why are you having to bend the other side? Did you take out the weather stripping on both sides? You shouldn't have to bend anything...
