If you're asking can you just insert a TBI Prom into a TPI ECM (although I never tried it) I don't think it would work at all to even start the engine.

Nope, won't work. If it's an older TBI ecm it doesn't even have a memcal (long blue chip) Some of the newer tbi ecm's have memcals, if your lucky it won't work, if your not your gonna fry your ecm and memcal.

Don't wast your time.

They have two completely different shapes and sizes. You are going to get creative to make it fit.

If you can do that, then you shouldn't have a problem running a Gameboy cartridge on your Xbox...
