    Bens cab. we the americans use megasquirt and have figured it out.we also have companies that make standalone units to fit you conversion needs. so even the computer illiterate can plug and play. i hope you also realise that we have quite a few 20vt running400hp.i can give you links to the US sites if that helps. one of the biggest mega sqirt users here is pattatron

    Pats a cool chap. Talked to him on msg a few times and he showed me some of his VR6 Mk1 projects.
    I am sure there are many 400BHP 1.8Ts out there in North America. I got a few chaps in Canada who run these outputs as "daily drivers" from the 20vT.
    Show us the links of chaps who run 20vTs on MS management 100bhp or 450bhp.
    The last time I checked Ben was the only one whos name came up in searches. By now there must be more...

    i thought you had links ????

    ive spoken to a couple of people on vortex who are in the process of using ms with the
    20v and they also have found information on this setup very limited other than my threads

    theres a guy called limaxray whos running fuel only and has major problems converting to spark

    This is SO helpfull to for people who want to go forward but don't have the knowlage/expertise etc... :clap:
    Please keep it up and us all informed!:p

    On a 2nd note,even if i were to use the STD ecu/management, 1st i have to see if its std or chipped then i know i have to go revo/cc stage 2 just to run without a cat which is like 499.00!!!! another cost ontop of the conv [:x] oh then an upgrade when i get it running right to fit my ko3s & map it [8(]
    (just trying to give others an insight into costs when running STD managment)

    Please keep the info comming you 2 :)

    Everybody Offline - looking good
    I am been toying with the idea of putting mega squirt on my rallye, seems quite simple compared to the 20vt . but i have not found any trigger wheel setups that look up to the job , anyone know know for any exmples ?. The best i have seen is on Rays red mk1 throttle bodies setup, that looked sweet.

    Quite like the idea of have knock control using megasquirt that a big selling point for me
