Real answer is yes but the answer is No without many costly mods to the car SKIP.

Default Unless the part #s have the same letters at the end, no. I can't remember if any of the ECUs

remained the same from 2000 to 2001.5. I don't think so though... In fact, I doubt they are the same since 2000s had no ESP.

Default Oooooh, oooooh, pick me, pick me!!!!

No.

Now, the long answer is that you can recode the 2000 ECU to the Hitachi MAF, but you'd still be without the ESP and also, your ABS won't work.
G'head, ask me how I know.

Default The only 6MT ECU's that are interchangeable are T and M that I know of.

I know T and M are, since I have had both of those running in my car with just swap.

I think you can do H into an M or T car, but I'm not 100% sure, but I don't see why not.
