finally ordered my megasquirt from Scott (Braineack)![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I want to understand this thing and get tuning before I go turbo. Maybe pick up a few hp (96rwhp FTL) by deleting the maf and tweaking fuel and spark settings.

MS came in today, together with standalone harness, IAT sensor, Innovate LC-1, KnocksenseMS and the FM mounting bolt and some vacuum line .![Jerkit](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/jerkit.gif)
Just waiting for the header to arrive and I can start tinkering around, too bad my mother took the laptop on holiday

started my build today.
pulled the stock header and EGR-pipe, and some various pieces of crap. testfitted my new stainless header.![Jerkit](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/jerkit.gif)
also tore up the interior and pulled the stock ecu. need to route vacuumline, hardmount MS underneath the dashboard en install LC-1 and IAT sensor, aswell as making an EGR blockoff plate out of some sheet aluminum and finding a testpipe instead of the gutted cat.
bear with me..![Giggle](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/gay.gif)
does the knocksenseMS have to be mounted to a motormount or can I bolt it to one of the bolt holes of where the AC bracket would be? (I have just PS)

it's too cold and/or rainy to work on the car. LC-1 to be installed, together with the KnocksenseMS, get the wiring done and start tuning
