I'm obviously a little biased, but if your just looking to simlify
your engine and gain some headroom in the tuning dept, MS is fine if
you like building and troubleshooting electronics and codes.  Plus, MS
is really aimed at fueling, there is some code out there that will do
5 cyl. igniton, but you'll most likely be one of very few prople using
it.


034EFI is becoming more and more powerful every day, it's not at all
Audi directed, it just has the largest Audi base.  It will run pretty
much any engine out there.  I think the IIC version is worth the extra
cost, the ign accuracy and extra features like boost related coil
dwell time are really nice to have.  They sky really is the limit with
this system like Javad has shown.
