Try AlexF on here.

Be careful to explain to him that its the megasquirt ECU that you are after though and not the gay porn series he has created with the same name.

Anyone who is happy to do so and is skilled as a mapper, its quite a simple system so not hard to learn.

I think most of the "pro" mappers though wont do so as the quality of the hardware is so variable and they dont want to be ascociated with shit results as a function of the hardware not being built right in the first place.

PS

If you want to pay someone to build it and map it, I would personally not bother with MS, jamsport will supply fit and map gotech for about a grand all in I believe, so I would go for that instead as its the same money basically (if you are paying someone to map it on MS for you) and that way you end up with a more saleable product at the end if you move on at a later date.

Plus you have a single person to point the finger at if there is a problem, not left in the middle with the mapper blaming the ecu builder and vice versa.

Its just an ECU so if you can map a DTA/emerald/omex its the same principles....

Theres nothing hidden at all with MS - its completely open to anyone.

thats why i want to get it from someone who knows what they`re doing, wouldnt mind having a little go at learning the mapping system myself, purely out of interest not to make money off it.
