The Ethanol Content Analyzer (ECA) will be very small. Only a few inches. It will communicate with the ECU via a single wire. Different kits might cannibalize existing wiring or otherwise plug and play but all the components you need are: ethanol sensor, fittings, ECA, some wiring for power/ground) etc, a tune. I imagine the large variance in cost between kits is based on plug and play levels and how fancy the fittings are. I had a pieced together kit that I got used for like $120. Or your can buy a super fancy smart phone app, chain into existing wiring connectors, all -AN fitting kits that are pretty spendy. I do recommend you run flex fuel to protect your investment (your car). How expensive you want to get is up to you. Feel free to ask any questions. I'm happy to help
