99 Montero ECU, 92 Stealth TT

This is not true. The fuel pump does NOT need to be hotwired. Vira's car runs just fine with a 99 Montero ECU and adapter harness, without a hotwired fuel pump. IIRC the hotwired fuel pump thing came up from the later single chip ECUs that combine the TCU and ECU chip into one. Jeff can elaborate more, but I know the fuel pump does not need to be hot wired.

Active Aero should work, because I dont think there is any hardware in the ECU that deals with active aero since it has its own computer. Active exhaust is missing components so it wouldn't work, along with the stock boost gauge and a few other things like stock boost control.

Oh, excellent, I hadn't heard about it running without a hotwired pump. I may move this up on my list, since I've got the 98 montero ECU waiting to be modded, but don't have an AFPR yet to do the fuel pump hotwire and it's too cold to be running wiring from battery to trunk in the snow, and I was going to replace the pump while I was back there.

Jeff is doing a FANTASTIC job on all of this.

It'll run w/o a hotwired pump but the relay will never switch to lower the voltage. Nothing really to be concerned about.
