I just want to hear the exhaust, going through the revs with that turbo has got to sound amazing.

Yeah, ill try to take some time to make a video but i really do not want to push the car too much just yet, there is some hesitating and misfires sometimes when i push it. It must be the stock ecu fighting the megasquirt and constantly adjusting the timing which screws up the megasquirt signal since its wired straight off the ignition coil.

So i went out this morning and ordered a Ford EIDS complete ignition kit which once installed will allow me to completely run the car off megasquirt and i will no longer need the stock ecu at all, but i will still keep it to run the gauges and stuff.

I will have full control on ignition/spark timing plus fuel which should be quite crazy once its tuned properly

The kit should arrive hopefully around the weekend of the 20th of August, damn paypal e-checks take forever to clear!
