Ok, here goes my stupid noob dumbazz question for the week, day, ok hour...
I shouldnt even ask, but Im curious so dont get all excited about jumping on me for this one.
[stupid question]I am assuming the sti ecu is completely different from the wrx/rs's, but what are compatible. I mean if there was a stock rex ecu it would work for rs's, but not stis right?[/stupid question]

Dude, that's not a stupid question at all.
Let me attempt to answer first before I go into my diatribe.
I'd tell you that the 3 ECU's are not compatible based on displacement, injector size, and possibly (but I have no way of knowing) pinouts. Actually, I'd guess that all 3 probably look the same and more than likely have the same pinouts, but the maps contained inside are where they would differ.
Asking questions in this forum. Highly encouraged and aligned with the original nature of a forum or newsgroup or BBS. It would just seem that there is a code in the HIIC which says you must ask all questions in a respectful manner and at least have attempted to have done some homework. Also, it has to pertain to something or you risk getting your feelings hurt.
Example, "Hey, what's everyone's opinion on Aquamist (a mechanism for actually spraying water or water and alcohol into the throttle body to cool the charge air going into the cylinders)? I hear that you can bump up timing by as much as 3 degrees with no knock."
Bad example, "Hey, I'm thinking of painting my WRX blue with white polka dots because I saw it in the F&FTWO, yO. What do you think?"

Ok, figured that the maps HAD to be different. Was just hoping there was some stupid way to have say 1 ecu on hand that could be swapped between the cars we all own.
Second maybe-not-so-stupid question, but feels like it.
IS there anyway to (how do I say this) re-program a single ecu with say RS and WRX and STI stock maps? Guess Im grasping here, but I am curious... I would imagine any hardware/software that could do this might be `spensive. I always hear of you guys changing the settings on your units (ecu units, dont get wierd ideas) and wondering if that is a way to say do this.
Just exploring possibilities...
