It was Speedblind that did it. He is here too.
He still has some minor problems to this day with the conversion, so I would not reccomend it. You would be better off to sell your auto and buy a manual.

His car WORKS...but there are some "quirks" to the conversion. The ECU is not reading his TPS. It is doing everything with MAFS and O2 sensors. There were a couple of other bugs, but I don't remember what.

Yep, I am the guilty one! 
I did the conversion:
1) I have a hook up.
2) I am not reselling my car ever.
3) I am crazy like that.
My car runs good no major problems other than a check engine light beign on due to the auto piggy-back ECU not reading the auto tranny. Funny thing is that St. Charles and a Hyundai dealer have told me that there is not difference between the main manual ECU and the main auto ECU. I have the auto tranny piggy-back ECU hooked up so that it does read the TPS now, but the check engine light is still on due to other things the main ECU is not reading.
Total cost for my conversion was: US$850.00 parts and labor.
P.S. I do not recommend it, but I am happy with my conversion.
