not sure why you would want to run microsqurit. the stock ecu can do more than that. really the only upgrade ecu you could go to is either aem or haltech. i dont even thing the ms3 ecu can do as much as either one of those.

I looked into it but the mivec stuff is the only hold back for me. a ms3x has everything needed from a hardware standpoint but the software would take some work to make it all function and i just dont have the time for it right now.
aem would be a good option but its way more money.

Agree there definitely is quite a steep learning curve when it comes to using the stock ECU with Tephra V7. There are so many tables available that you have to figure out which ones to touch and which ones to leave alone. In addition, there are tables you need to add that are not available from the get go on V7. This requires even more time hunting down threads and adding code to your ROM.
However, once you get past the learning curve, it's actually pretty powerful for what it is. I've played with Megasquirt PNP2 on a different car and I must admit I much prefer the table resolution of our stock ECU compared to MS. It does do some good things but at the same time it does have its oddities. I will say though that once you switch over to a higher end standalone that there is no going back. I briefly tinkered with Haltech Platinum Pro on my car and I am in love. Super user-friendly interface, real-time changes, and custom user definable tables are so awesome, makes me wonder how I ever lived without it.
