Black go with T7, Red with T5...
I think I recall reading a Red DI might or will damage a T7 ecu, but a Black DI won't hurt a T5 ecu. I think the primary difference is on the knock signal back to the ECU - the T5 signal is a higher voltage - so if you use a Black DI, and you hit a knock condition, the ECU won't be able to see the condition.
So you run the risk of un-detected knock if you use a Black DI, but that only puts the motor at risk, not the ECU :^).
