Default megasquirt help

ive got a se cab fitted with a 1.9cvh turbo lump. Its running ofab efi management at the mo,with standard injectors/boost etc. Ive looked into getting a chip for this spec and have been quoted £400 for the chip itself!! i cant justfiy paying that sort of money for a chip which isnt even tailored to my car(its a zvh map) but was told it wont be far off for the 1.9cvh setup. I just want my car to run some more boost/power so was just going to live with the zvh chip until i got told the price,and the with adding seting up on top of that!!!!!I dont want cossie management as again,it is big money involved. I keep hearing more and more about megasquirt...... I wouldnt have a clue where to start regarding mapping myself,so how easy is it to "pick up",ive also heard people meantion auto tune? and was wondering peoples personal experiences on fitting/mapping it themselves,and more importantly who would be best to speak to regarding buying it from etc etc as i need to get my car sorted asap.
Is there a way of someone being able to show pics of what to expect when looking at a "mapping screen" on their pc screen to see if id be able to work out what is needed to be understood.....as i really dont want to buy and fit it,and then look at my laptop and not have a clue what to do.........
sorry for the essay lol
