the trick to MS is letting some other poor bastard spend sleepless nights adapting it to their car, and let them write the new programs and updates for it.. then use their known-good path to get yours running in a day
thats how theres 17 year old highschool kids tossing MS units on vw's very successfully, self-tuned at home with a wideband. its picking up big-time for the 4age, theres a pretty straight forward formula to run it, and its easy to setup, and with the programs its easy to tune. the self-tune feature is always getting revised and works better and better.
its a huge venture to pioneer anything.. its not a very big venture at all to duplicate someones known-good methods. this VERY much applies to the MS. it would be a much more viable mk2 option if there were 100 guys tinkering with it. i ultimately abandoned mine because of the lack of support.. i didnt have the time to invest in making it run right... maybe someone else will, and it could be a viable option for me again down the road.
