Zayed,
I finally got the TCU but the parts yard sent me an EGS51 type because the exact one I purchased (EGS52type) somehow got water damaged and was thrown out! They didn't know what I was planning so they thought they were doing me a favor by sending the one that is OEM for my car. So, it's on its way back for a refund. The only other TCUs out there that might work are around $300 used. Too much money and time at this point. Yesterday, I contacted Jerry and blew off the TCU tune and he already sent me a refund for the programming! (He is a super guy!) So, I'm just going to send in my ECU and leave it at that. So, this puts an official end to this thread. Thanks for all your help.
