If you plan on upgrading your MAF or injectors via an ECU ROM tune, it wont matter at all, you can find a manual ROM file and put it on there. In the end, no, you should have no problems with an auto ECU.

If its similar to the SOHC KA ECUs, then the auto ECU already has the speed limiter removed.....

Auto ECU in a manual is fine. I've done it multiple times.
