To skew the thread in the direction CvC assumed - I don't even want to know what the Snap-On water toys are...
Mega-Squirt interest/group buy sorta

Also, PT,
how well would the MegaSquirt be able to integrate with the BCU of a D2? I think you could make a MegaShift to control the transmission so that would be less of a concern.
Ends up being harmless, and there really is a Snap-on Water Toy:

There are no o-ring seals on the cases of ANY of the ECUs you referenced. Otherwise, I would not have GEMS ECUs to share with the boys at Mega-Squirt.
The Snap-On water toys are squirt guns in the shape of cordless drivers.
This would be more interesting to some of us if it was a bolt on stand alone replacement for a carb.
The cases on GEMS do not have any kind of seal whatsoever. Thats how I ended up with this.
There are orings/gaskets on the plugs into the ECU but it does little good when the case is so vulnerable.
Dan, I have been agreeing with you lately, but on this, with apologies to Perrone Ford and Brian Bonner, you are WRONG!
The GEMS ECUs are at major risk from of all things, windshield washer solvent spills and debris kicked up from underneath that rots the inner fender well and then you have dirty water splashing on the vent strategically placed on the lower end of the case of the ECU leading to the corrosion Brett showed-which I thought for sure was one of my pictures of an ECU before I started on recovery.
I have a 14cux plenum on my 4.6 at the moment but plan on running the GEMS 4.6 plenum and intake with the MS setup.
The ECU can be installed safely inside wherever you want. The waterproofness comes from the Ford EDIS coil packs which can be fully submerged and not miss a beat, as long as the rest of the engine is well sealed. There is no air meter to deal with either. Massive boost in ignition voltage so you can run a wider plug gap as well. Full tunability, which means you can run dual fuel maps, one for power and one for economy.
