The ECU is a full replacement unit.
It has built in functions . like anti lag or launch control. turbo timer, boost control
It also controls thermo fans, nos, up to 16 injectors> It can fire 1,2,4 coils on a four cylinder It can control 4 6 8 12 cylinder or rotary engines
The wiring loom needs to have your plugs for injectors and sensors put on it to suit your motor
It does not use a AFM. It runs of MAP sensor built into the unit. And it's a high boost version capable of mapping 50 psi boost
The only sensors and out puts connected on my car is, the MAP sensor, the metric temp sender, crank angle sensor and module "ignitor" to fire the coils.
I don't use O2, TPS, Stepper motor (for cold start)
But all these can be connected if I want to later depending on what I want the ECU to do.
cheers
