are the grounding kits that people, such as HKS, sell a better quality? or is it just a way to make money from the lazy ones in the group? I work too much and go to school full time so I am lazy but I've got tomorrow planned as a car day, bolting in my roll bar, changing plugs and wires, maybe throttle body mod.

HKS and other brands are only better if you do this mod half assed, if you get the required tools and materials it should work better than those brand name grounding kits.....

As I understand these posts on this ECU ground fix, I should:
1) find the ground wire on the ECU plug, splice a new wire into it and ground that to the chassis
2) follow this same wire away from the ECU a few inches where it will join with some other ground wires
3) splice a new ground wire into this junction and ground it to a different location than the wire in step #1

All you do is splice the 10 gauge wire into the ECU ground. Then put a ring connector on the other side of the 10 gauge wire and ground it to the ECU cover plate bracket, you one ground 1 wire, although if you have an SAFC or TT (like I did) hooked up you will have other wires grounded to the ECU ground, if thats the case then twist all the ground wires together with the 10 gauge and solder it up and use plenty of e-tape
