there's a few difference reasons to get one built by me or buying one from DIY.
mainly $$$ and user intervention getting it installed. They provide excellent support while I try to sound smart while I relay all the questions back to them for help

its using the same software. but their solution is literally pnp. while mine is DIY.
they use the v3.57 board and have custom circuits for a/c and others. while I'm using the v3.00 board and have to run it as a piggyback for the stock ecu to run a/c. plus you gotta do more installation work running a few wires.
either choice, it's better than nothing. im highly biased over having me build you one.

On a side note BRAINY --
This is the first time in about a year that I have recieved EMAIL notification that someone has posted in a thread that I replied to. Infuggincredable - Wonders never cease to amaze me.
Now if I could get back all of the post count that disappeared.

I'm a little biased, since I was a beta tester for the MM9495 MSPNP, but both DIY and Brain are going to build you a very nice product. The extra cash for the MSPNP gets you A/C control as Brain said, as well as a nifty center connector that makes hooking up EBC, water injection, and a few other things really stupidly easy. Unless you really go hog wild, you'll never have to solder on a PNP board.
The other part is the install. Brain said himself that you'll have to run a few wires to hook up his setup; I helped a local guy install his beta MM9697 MSPNP a few weeks ago, and it took us 45 minutes, 30 of which was trying to get the stupid MAP sensor hose through the grommet in the firewall. Super-clean install, you can't even tell the MSPNP is running the car, and it fired on the first keyturn. We never even took out a pair of wire cutters or crimpers or a heat gun. Just unplug the stock ECU, plug in the MSPNP, run the MAP hose and install the tee fitting, and you're done. It really is that easy.
If I were shopping for an MS today, I'd have a really hard time choosing between the two.
