Just to clarify, the V3.57 is basially a V3 MS1 that lacks coil drivers... AND the ability to modify them properly without the use of SMT soldering equipment. We have had one MS 3.57 here which was removed from the car and swapped to a V3 due to some interesting solering the chap had done, as well as a 8V TB'd Golf that came in on a Mircosquirt that was again removed to be fitted with our V3 as we could not (well I couldn't) work out how to map it with Alpha-N... I did search everywhere, he even checked on the forums and no-one really seemed to know a work-around... Other than those two, no other personal experience. The mapping is essentially the same (MS1X/MS2) which is very good software, but I think MS died a death once they started to mass produce boards that lacked inherent features, AND, the ability to easily modify them to suit a persons particular vehicle.

That debate is probably best saved, as Chip said, for another forum
