So ANY standalone ECU is not a "plug-and-play" module into a stock socket?

Correct, standalones are DEFINITELY NOT PnP. Some are closer than others. Some require you to replace sensors with more generic sensors (usually GM style), others can work with what you have. It's been several years since I worked with them, but from a quick googling about it doesn't look like THAT much has changed. Typically the hardest part is getting the crank sensor set up. Oh, and deciding what type of fuel injection your going to run.
