Hi,

There is another option to going efi, which I'm exploring.  That is to
have someone build your Megasquirt for you, or to buy an assembled one
such as from Ebay.  There are folks that seem to pretty professionally
assemble the ecu's, so you don't have to do it yourself.

Mine will be about as turnkey as can be expected for a Megasquirt. 
It's been assembled by a guy who's running it on his 5kcstq, so I'm
actually getting it with the maps and stuff already loaded.  He also
does chips so I had him modify my MAC10 ecu for the overboost cut and
ignition timing.

Cheers,

Ken
