SplitfireEFI vs MSPNP
So I was shopping around for a pnp harness for a MS and I saw that SplitfireEFI sells a "complete" kit for MS on OBD1 miatas.
It seems comparable and maybe even more desirable than the MSPNP on account it seems to be all standard parts and stuff and since the connectors are standard you can maybe use it in another car later down the road. and its cheaper.
seems to come with everything I might need for an initial setup. Does anyone have any experience with one of their prebuilts or this kit in particular?
any thoughts?

MS & a harness you either buy pre-built, or you buy in component form and build. *Then* you need to cut and splice the stock harness into the premade MS harness. There isn't a miata plug on one end of the harness, it's just a DB37 and a bunch of labelled wires.

MS PnP is a Megasquirt in a smart box that you buy and then straight away plug into your car and it works

plus the PNP version has the additional/optional circuits already built. If I had ever built my own MS, I'd know what they are with more clarity, but I do know DIY provisioned for fuel pump, a/c, and ebc. There may be more, like I said I'm not up to speed.
If you're looking at a minimal to small difference in cost, I would absolutely get the PNP due to 1> ease and 2> support.
If the difference in cost is several hundred $$, then it's up to you. But consider time/hassle/cost factor in building the optional circuits.

Well remember to factor support too. I think once Jerry took 12 hours to email me. When he was at Speed Week in the desert.
Matt's also a smart cookie too, and has given me support.
Like Ben & Loki I could have build my own MS. But after reading through others' trouble shooting threads, I decided my time and sanity was worth a little extra.
to support my cheapness I used rubber radiator hose for couplers.

thats why i asked here as well, but really based on what Im seeing the MSPNP is the horse to beat.

as a side note I looked at boomslangs site and I dont see a MS harness or connectors listed. are their other vendors? I found splitfire while searching for a pnp MS harness
