ty, haha well you never know.. not atm though

yea the other is going to be efi, have ordered another megasquirt to solder up, going to be alot simpler, probably a bigger turbo with ea falcon cpi throttle body, and possible water injection, to fit with booster in the bay

nah i never intended to put it on the dyno, and the 2nd one has the ea falcon cpi adapted to the pinto manifold , a garrett t3 turbo on a manifold and the engine management, i only work on it in my spare time which is nearly none.. so still a while to go

What did you do for a accelerator cable. I am after a cable for mine. Wont the electronic dizzy stand up to turbo charging?

used a ford laser carby throttle cable, the dizzy should be fine, but when you compare the cost you could have the coil packs hooked up cheaper than what the dissys were going for thats all, probably a stronger spark as well
