Too much money my ***. For what he wasted on the powercard, FMU, and 400$ BTM box my friend could have nearly bought a PNP to begin with.

Not to mention I've spent under $400.00 on my Megasquirt, been driving it for 16 months now without issue, and does everything a 1995 1.8 with boost of any kind could ever need.

DIYAutoTunes ASSEMBLED and TESTED V2.2: $240.00
Misc parts to mod for extras: $15.00
LC1 Wideband: $199
Parts to make PNP Harness: $30.00

Yeah, that requires some light soldering and light brain use... Big deal. Even if you just bought the PNP and Wideband, 900$ is a pretty cheap price for 20+hp...

Plug selling redundant bits on to cover some of the costs.

it's an 'M'45, (older generation less efficient blower than the MP) btw, unless he built it himself

Anyone feel like sharing some maps? I'm interested in your ignition advance numbers and what your afr targets are set up at. Mine's not running as fast or well as it should be at the moment, I think some datalogging will help but it's not as fast as it should be up top.

Bump...Any updates on dyno results? I'm looking at doing the MSPNP on my setup.

I prefer the bandaids. I guess I got tired of tuning. Although I did get good power with MS.
