You want a MS3 of some sort. You can get a MS3X built by Braineack for about $800 but he has a decent waitlist at the moment. Or you can get a MSPNPPro from DIYAutotune for around $1200. Or a MS3Basic from TrackSpeed engineering for around $1150-1200. All 3 use the same MS3 daughter board and run the same software, hardware wise there are just small differences. The MS3 along with a wideband O2 sensor are the first things you want to buy. Then you want to buy the new TunerStudio Ultra software app. It is $100 and worth every penny. It runs on a Macbook fine, no need to get a different laptop. Once you have those you install them and start learning to tune your car stock. Go google the "megasquirt megamanual" and start reading it now. You should read it multiple times. You will need to learn how to do a ton of the stuff in there. TheCarPassionChannel on youtube has some ok videos with installing and setting up a megasquirt.

I really like the idea of tuning a ECU now. You guys sold me to be honest. Now the car is "mechanically" tuned as in ignition timing, idle, fuel. I do have an aem wideband on it now too. That was the first step to actually tuning it so why not take the leap. And holy cow pie those ms are really that much?? There goes a paycheck on a 1400$ ecu.. Oh well thats life

Damn, they're still called cedar point apartments...
I lived here 3157 Berry Ln, Roanoke, VA 24018 - Kroger, burger king, and some random other places I can't recall. That hill getting up to the complex was a blast in the winter.
I skated in this pool when they repainted it and used sand as grip.

Living half way in the ground was kinda sweet.

Girz0r: yep that strip malls still there, burger kings still selling chicken fryz and the goodwill still across the street. Cedar point where that kenote spencer kid got shot by those 2 cops. But yea man Roanoke still sucks ***, snobby old people and heroin addicts. Im glad im into cars, and a beer or two every now and then. Its gotten rough in some parts. Downtowns building up a lot though, nice to see that. Everybody here thats into cars has wrxs because of the snow...

Back on topic: get a tacoburrito manifold with a greedy turbo and a cocksport 3.1" exhaust. clamp teh return line on the fuel system and you got fuel for 10psi. ez-pz breh
megasquirt is for late night orgies

SixShooter: I live in Virginia, no emissions orders or restrictions here. Because of how shitty most of you all are and keep telling me I cant do it, im so close to doing a FMU just to blow this piece of **** and drop a 1jz in it.
16psi: just like every other fucktard down here. "nothing can touch my stang man"
Everybody else: If anybody has any actually advice on turboing a car without MS please let me know. No more bull ****

Im literally following Gregs broke and boosted except for the 1.8. Going to start a vlog on youtube as well. Im trying to boost this for as little money as possible, make it reliable, and still smoke stock mustang gts and wrxs. Im literally just doing it for the haters now. If it blows ill get another 1.8 and actually MS it, but for now, no tune and FMU life.... SUCK IT haters. Lets see how long this turd bucket last.

Many standalone ECUs will work for your car. I just believe that MS3x has the most features (and community support) for the buck right now. I got a discount on some of the HPacademy courses and have been going through them lately and I see that (most) other ECUs that they use in the courses basically perform the same functions in the same way as a megasquirt, just a different interface/screens.
