Wouldn'tchew think the guys in CA would have this 'new ECU' if that were the

In California, everything has to be as the manufacturer or the EO says or
the visual inspection will kill you. It doesn't have to make sense.

I am sitting on the sidelines but it doesn't look good for the Tiico team
right now.
