The first question is, what is your car?

One ECU is MPFI the other is DPFI.

If you have an STD then you need to use the PM5 (DPFI). The Si is the PM5 (MPFI).

No both of those ECUs are DPFI. PM5 was found in most DX and STDs (and LX to). PM9 was found in some 91 DPFI cars. I think the 9 had even crappier fuel maps than the 5. You could swap in an ECU from the 5, but I highly doubt you will notice any gains.

The Si ECU is a PM6.
