It has a great interface on the laptop and I even have mine set up with Bluetooth so I can tune wirelessly.
Options on the MegaSquirt v3 board with the MS-II daughter card are virtually endless. MegaSquirt does it all - Fuel management, spark control, timing control, PWM, idle control, etc. You can have multiple tables for different driving conditions and it logs EVERYTHING when you tell it to. I love it because I can tune it exactly how I want when I want and I don't have to wait for or buy a pre-programmed chip. Also there is no need for a MAF either since you can tell MegaSquirt to adjust fuel properties by either TPS sensor only or TPS with MAP sensor. The TPS with MAP control is a must on boosted engines. So is a wideband O2 sensor, such as the Innovate Motorsport LC-1. On my Fiat, I'm running with MegaSquirt v3 + MS-II daughter board, Ford EDIS (Electronic Distributorless Ignition System) with VR sensor at the crank (36-1 toothed crank wheel), and the Innovate Motorsport Wideband O2 system. This with the Garrett T3 turbo on it is a real hoot!
Personally, I love the idea of putting the MegaSquirt on the Turbo Buicks. But, again, I like them stock and I hate making wiring harnesses. Ugh!

i have the ms1 version 3 board. I love the way it all works. the coll things it datalogs everything and when reviewing the logs you can pick and choose what you want to look at and it does it at 25 frams a sec and it will datalog as long as you have hard drive space on the laptop.
MY buddy @ turbotune in greensboro has installed a version 2.2 ms1 on his 87 limited.
if i didn't have the buick really tuned in i would buy another ms ecm and try it on the buick.

Imaginary things are harder to bear than the actual ones. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities, grudges. Don't hold post-mortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrow and mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself. Keep busy at something. A very busy person never has time to be unhappy."
