Re: NEED HELP with comp. for a tpi swap
The easiest way to go is in my sig. You can use a '7165 with the addition of a MAF sensor. A few pin changes, remove the MAP, install a MAF along with the MAF power & burn off relays.
Can also go with a '7730. To do this will need to add another ECM harness connector a do a bunch of re-pinning. The '7730 running $8D will run off the existing MAP sensor.

Wouldn't it be easier to just get a wiring harness and ecm out of an 88' Iroc like the TPI setup came out of in the first place, or is that not possible?
