it wont match because the SAFC is only "officaily" supported by the turbo models. Your looking at the turbo ECU, if its in the SAFC instructions. try this. its for us RS peoples...

k, thats for the 97+, what about us 95's :)
21828, under the hood

its under the hood, near the battary... 95s have a obI smaller ecu... 96+ have a obII bigger but in the same location... you would think its some sorta amp, it has wires coming out from the bottom...

Okay well first of all find your fuse box under the hood which is directly behind your drivers headlight. Then go straight back towards the windshield and it is the next thing after the fuse box. It has a black bracket holding it in place and I believe the ecu is silver color and has some cooling fins on the top of it. The top part that you see is probaly an 1.5 - 2inches wide. It is the next thing behind the fuse box, there is nothing else there. You cant miss it.

Im afraid that if he cant find the ECU how is he going to find the knowledge to install it once he finds the ecu ?
