I would try the FP ECU first,
If the engine runs rich swap to the smaller 1.8 injectors as it would hold them open longer.
Then try again.
If it works well and it should (my car was fine and its only because it was the engine from a Mazdaspeed Familia that I even bothered trying) always run it on 98 as its a lot of money to spend for only a few KW.
Can you send the engine back and wait 3 weeks (less if you pay air freight)and I can get you a standard 125KW FS-ZE + ECU for LESS than whats its going to cost you to buy FS-DE + Haltech + getting it tuned.
If you want I can even get the tiptronic style gearbox as well.
We know thats possible.
I can arrange everything including wiring loom corrections.
I know its a crazy thought but its well worth it.
