Chad,
Good info. I was wondering what was the deciding factor in going with
Megasquirt over SDS. I've looked through the SDS site in the past
(http://www.sdsefi.com) and it looks pretty decent. SDS does seem to get a
little pricey though, after you start adding on options. Keep us updated.

Subject: [a2-16v-list] standalone efi (megasquirt) cost breakdown
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 11:51:18 -0400 (EDT)
Last time I posted on this list about going with a standalone efi I was
set on SDS. Well, I changed my mind and now have all the pieces ready to
do the install using megasquirt (www.msefi.com). I just have to finish
building the megasquirt unit and spend the time to install it. I've been
finding a lot of valuable info on vw vortex.
For those interested in the cost for prepping a 16v for a turbo or if you
just want to get rid of the stock fuel injection. This is what I have so
far (all prices below include shipping/tax/etc). My plan is to get
megasquirt running before adding the turbo. Then over the next few months
(or years) I'll get all the turbo parts and begin the installation.
$120.00 megasquirt main boards
$168.00 megasquirt digi-key components
$48.00 megasquirt cases
$21.50 air temp sensor
$123.00 wiring harness and fuel injector connectors
$169.00 Aeromotive 13101 fpr and pressure gauge
$40.00 Passat auto 16v throttle body
$200.00 ross fuel rail
$208.00 42lb injectors
$10.00 injector cups - 037 133 555 A
$1,107.50
If you all are considering megasquirt please note it is much easier to
just buy all the components from a supplier like glen's garage or
rs-autosport even if you plan to build the system yourself. I spent some
time trying to track down parts that were on back order from digikey and
really didn't save much money.
Chad
