Bernard,

Most of the megasquirt discussions are at efi332 email list at the moment.  
The active members there could probably help you.

I'm pretty sure the MAP it comes with will work just fine on a non-turbo 
application.  Lawnmover?  Is it 2 stroke?  I'm not sure about this honestly.

I think the MAP is on the circuit booard itself.  I think this came up 
earlier, and the option was to set a jumper and wire an external MAP.  
Beware, this is from memory, and I have not been following Megasquirt that 
closely.

I _think_ it's really 2.5 bar absolute, but please check the efi332 archives 
to make sure.  I remeber a comment about 1 pascal ~= 1 bit on the 8bit ADC.
