Which ECU connector plugs will fit my '95?
I just got an MS3, and rather than cut and splice my stock wiring harness, I'd like to use the stock ECU plugs. So I need to get a connector that mimics the plug on my stock ECU. I've done some research, but mostly I found a bunch of dead links and info about NB wiring.
DIY Auto Tune sells a kit for $90, but I don't need the fancy aluminum case:

I found this connector for $20, but it only has 64 pins:

Will the 64-pin connector work on my '95? Is there something else that would work better? I do want to have room for expansion for more inputs and outputs.

The DIYPNP uses 4 connectors, but only 2 are used on OBD1 ECU's and 3 are used on OBD2 (I think that was the change between 2 and 3). Even with the connector that has 3 connectors, like the one you linked and I linked above, you'll still have a leftover connector, that you can use for expansion.

I made an extension of the stock wiring buying the wires and ECU side female from DIY, and using a rusEFI breakout board.
The wires from DIY are labeled to match the ECU (they have **** written like TPS, CLT, etc) and makes it easier to match with the connectors. After a while you'll find it pretty easy to mix a few of those cables, specially if you're working on it after a long day at work like I was.
I started soldering the ECU side first because it's way easier to match.

I think I can figure out which wire to solder where on the connector, but if anyone has a definitive pinout guide for my '95 it would help a lot. I've found some for 94/95, but I thought that they were different.

Did you get the $90 kit from DIY that I linked above? Or some other connector?

I read the link, but it has a pinout diagram for both '94 and '95. I know that the stock ECU is different for those two years, so I want to make sure that it applies to my '95. The stock ECU for '94 has a different part number and won't work in a '95.
