I am suspecting the pressure sensor is bad in the $hit box. With that thing getting harder and harder to find I was thinking MS might be the way to go.
It seems that the money part is pretty close and reading the archives I think I have accses to everything I need. I just wanted some opinions, pro's and con's, etc... what do you guy's think?? |

The chief downside is you have to do a fair bit of rewiring to use MS. The stock MS enclosure isn't waterproof, so you have to mount it in the cabin or get creative. Do NOT mount it in the rear trunk, as the trunk gets too hot. If you've never dealt with EFI much, there's a non-trivial learning curve to getting MS to work well.
The benefits are: no more MPS, and tunability. If you're happy with the stock engine, then the latter is fairly unimportant. The former, however, is getting more and more important as the supply of MPSes gets smaller. If someone manages to start making replacement parts for it, then even the MPS advantage disappears. It's not yet been proven, but I also suspect the D-Jet system isn't optimal, and you may be able to get a much more efficient tune using MS. |
