i'm confusing myself!
i've been researching engine management systems lately just to see what i'd need. if i buy that audi engine i'm currently looking into, i'd need to get an ecu too. even if i get an engine with the stock ecu, i'd still need something able to manage boost later on in the future. currently, i'm comparing vems and megasquirt, and i'm overwhelmed! i mean, which really is easier to work with? which has better sources of information behind it? bottom line, which is cheaper?
vems has pretty straightforward guides for setup, but god is it expensive. megasquirt's cheapness comes with the fact that i'd have to solder the board together (the assembled ones are pretty comparable to vems in price).
is there some other product i'm missing? i must be nuts even to be considering this stuff now.
