I too, have one of these-and am quite unhappy with the Amazon seller who advertises them as "SPI-connect" and "ILI9341"
these are actually an SSD1289 controller, and have no option for SPI bus comms...they're parallel only, in 8 bit or 16 bit mode.
The touch controller and SD card slot are SPI, but not the display itself. Oh well.
