Default Megasquirt has arived!

I recieved my Megasquirt fuel controller yesterday, looks like a really straight forward install, only ten wires to connect to the factory PCM harness. I'll start installing it as soon as I get back from Atlanta.

If you haven't been following this, this is going to be the Best path for 98 guys to get a SD 2.5bar tune.

My plan is to allow the factory PCM handle that.

I think this is going to be the best setup for all of us guys that want a 2 bar setup, I mean your looking 700-800 to get that 2 bar to work with the stock computer. might as well do this, its cheaper and will control low impedance injectors for us FI guys.

Can you do us a favor and take some detailed pictures, including the wires that you are using to tap into. Ten wires sounds so damn simple, lol Im betting it is harder than that
