I ended up jamming the wire in there and taping it down until I can find a proper pin.

Does anyone know where we can find pins for our harnesses?
The dealership parts counter had no idea. I believe A35-15 is 20 gauge. A de-pinning tool would also be useful because I'm sure to mess it up.

For those having difficulty figuring out what plug is which, just look at the wiring profile compared to the picture of the plug and you will figure it out pretty quick. I tried to use the FSM, but that thing is Godzilla. On the ECU, A35 is the second plug from the firewall, followed by A34. You can see a nice pic of this in the thread about hooking up your wideband to the secondary O2 sensor (if you are on RR7). http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57902
Why didn't you use the wire I mentioned literally the post right before yours stating you do not have the tach signal wire as the BRZs do? The Canadian models are not unique in that regard. the FR-Ss do not have the additional module (Certification ECU Assembly) that people conveniently pull the RPM signal from because the majority of FR-S minus the 10 series do not have the push button start and active entrance option. You really should not be stuffing wires into the ECU like that unless you are ok with the possibility of shorting something out. It's the one piece of hardware in the car you should not be half assed about. They aren't exactly laying around in junk yards yet to grab a new one should something fry it.
