Wait, wait, wait - You Build a MegaSquirt YOURSELF?

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

I am waiting for the later system to come out as well...  I plan to use it on 
a G60 engine/charger w/a 2.0 block, so stock will also be a restriction in my 
case I believe...  Depending on fundage, I may do the 2.0 16V pickup as well...
