Installing a VAFC II - Couple Questions

I already have it mounted I just need to wire it. Now I know about the ground and power wires and connecting them at least 1cm apart. And that I need to tap in the Tach wire. Other than that, what wires need to be connected? I have a picture of a 97 ECU pinout, would it look the same for my 98?

Also, would it be easier to take out the ECU before wiring? What methods did you guys use?

Any help is appreciated thanks guys.

It's been a while since I installed (and later uninstalled) my SAFC II, but here are the diagrams I used.





Hope it helps

Taking out the ECU isn't helpful because you need access to the harness itself. I had to remove a plastic cover on the top and carefully move wires around so I could count and tap into the wiring. I personally did not want to cut any ECU wires so I used taps; just make sure they are the right size and make a solid connection.
