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 ![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)
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?
