Ok I have a project car (early 1990, 1.6) that I am rebuilding complete with Turbo, IC etc. I would like to build and install a Mega Squirt for the experience and control. I have never run the car since I got it and I am just assuming it runs. Would I be better to set up everything on the turbo and IC etc and get it running first before doing the Mega thing or just jump in and do it all? I am concerned that if I do not have it running without Mega first, that I will never be able to fiqure out what is wrong if it does not start??? Whats your best advice?

 

I'd get the thing running as-is with out adding the turbo or MS first. Would be a bitch trying to trouble shoot a problem with the car that has nothing to do with the changes you are making.

 

Get it started on the stock ECU, makes troubleshooting easy. Then go to MS.

 

...then turbo
