[Diy_efi] Megasquirt

[James Panter]

Bruce     Glad to see you were online---.   I've been attempting to get 
started with a 749 ECM and the Typhoon $58.   That is sure not easy to tune 
and there is very little information for beginners.  All the support aids go 
right into the most technical parts of using the equipment---for example 
opening the program files and XDF definitions.   I was curious at how the 
screen set-ups and start ups were with MS because it seeded to me that those 
users woudl have been more unskilled users.  I now have about three days of 
reading and a thousand dollars of equipment and am really nowhere yet. 
I'll get there but it's sure not fast!!
Thanks for the reply.
