How looks you MS with the inverted settings and the MS-2 modification?

If you mean Joe's improved ignition out it's fine.

I'd reccomend MSII over MS1 from now on. With sequential it's even better.

FWIW my car required the cap on a MS1 setup but on MS2 wouldn't rev past 3.5k removal of the cap solved the revving problem

In short try without first

My issue right now it my battery in my laptop sucks, so I need a power inverter to actually go out and fool around with my MSII unit.

But so far it's driving and idling very smooth. this new VE Live feature in TS doesn't hurt either.

im running 2.1.1b but 3.0.x is out now so I dont see any reason not to go with the newest unless there are known bugs.

Unless you're running sequential injection I'd stick with the 2xxx series until 3xxxx comes out of Beta IMO.

2xxxx and 3xxxx are identical the difference is which will run sequential injection/ignition.

3.0.3q is rock solid for me. I use it on my daily driver with absolutely no problems.

Also, mind splainin the dual map sensor?

I used the megastim to change to spark inverted, the car start and everything runs fine.

Then I modify the board to install MS-2 but now i can't connect the MS to the computer to install the firmware.

What I'm doing wrong?
