let me shine a little light here, I have a 2001 galant that i'm installing an evo8 ecu in. Everything pretty much works ok. I would however get a 2 cel codes. 1 for no fuel presure sensor, and 1 for no boost solenoid. Now i have the resistor value for the fuel presure sensor so that should be ok. The only thing i need now is to know how to get rid of the boost solenoid.

I currently don't have a boost solenoid and don't want it, so the problem isn't solved yet, and the gain of using an evo8 ecu on a galant is that evo ecu knows the term "boost". Galant/eclipse ecu are capable of reading a maximum of 100% load, while evos go up to 280%. So you cannot tune a turbocharged galant without this ecu.
The ECU wants to see the selinoid period. You can use any 2 pic selinoid and just plug it in.
This is not rocket science but if you want to have a stock ecu function properly then you will need a BCS. You don't have to use it, but it needs to be plugged in.
A resistor will not work as it is a pulse width signal from the ECU.
