Looking for a cheap ECU that'll suit my needs
Running a 1.8, and planning on a T28 and running about 7-8psi of boost.
I don't have much money to spend after I get all of this set up, can someone recommend me an ECU that will suit these needs?

Total you're looking at about $260, but you'll need to assemble it. Hope you know how to solder. Press "user CP" in the upper left hand corner of the forum, and add your location to your profile, maybe someone in your area will build it for a small fee. But above all, start searching, MegaSquirt is a very well covered topic on this forum.

Next question... Will it install and tune itself?? or do I have to touch the damn thing??
Dude get a MS if you CANT really afford to buy one built, then built your own. MS are relatively plug-n-play, emphasis on relatively, however small mods and tuning is required. **** just doesnt fall in your car and work.

Thanks guys, though I don't think you really understood when I said "plug n' play".
Of course you have to tune it, and install it. I was simply wondering if there is any wire splicing or major modifications to the electrical system necessary.

What's the difference between version 2.2 and version 3.0?
Does it include instructions for the 1.6 and 1.8? (I have 1.6)
WHat else will I need besides the kit that's either $139 or $187?

You're going to have difficulty getting full answers to your questions because answers to your questions are easily available if you look around a bit.

I THINK that's it. As everyone else has said SEARCH! There are some great sticky threads in the Megasquirt section of this forum. After buying all the above, you'll need to solder it together, drill and tap your intake for the AIT sensor and wire it to your car's AFM plug, run a vacuum line to the MS, solder together a PNP harness or solder directly into your car's ECU harness, and then the rest is software.
Again, ALL THESE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED IN THE MS STICKYS!
