K, wondering about this MS thing.
Is it more worth it to buy the PnP or do the DIY in terms of overall cost? Time means not a whole lot to me since I have time to kill. I was thinking the Greddy Emanage because I'm not going for grotesque amounts of power. However, I've been hearing nice things about MS... thoughts?

1 If you can solder do a DIY
2. DIY costs maybe 300$
3. PNP costs what 600$ i dont remember exactly.
4. If you trust yourself working on circiut baords then DIY
Look at this list to see if MS is right for you. Personally the only one i agreed with was the 300$ one but my buddy adam was ok with the rest so i got my stuff done for a very good price.

my assembled ms 1 pcb3 + lc1 + assembled harness + sensors cost me around $600-650. and that was a good deal since my ms unit was THE last one spark and fuel sold. they are completely out of units now so no deals for anyone else
oh, and that includes "powered by megasquirt efi" license plate frame

I'm selling one that I put together but haven't had time to mess with:

I just built one for Rappadan here for under $500, would have been less if the EBC wasnt included, and if I didnt charge him a nomial fee to build it.
If I can get a source on connectors (which I believe I can now) then the cost of the boomslang is cut more than half. and thats about 1/4 of the cost.
I could build a MS with JAW wbo2 (with all mods done, and 95% PnP) for somewhere in the $450-500 mark, would have to see the total cost and crap, plus a few to ship of corse.

Did I mention I want to be stealthy on the install. i.e.- Underhood there would be little question as to what one was looking at? Recently CHP enacted a spoken rule that they would be targeting a certain vehicle/driver. That would be a visually modified import vehicle with a 18-34 year old Azn male at the helm. Profiling and racist, yes and I fit that profile to a T.
Anyways... could we get a glossary for the terms on an MS too? Also, where are the good sources of MS stuff?
