Default Megasquirt........Any good????

Has anyone got any info on whether these pretty cheap ecu's are any good. As lookin at the spec on some website's they seem to be. But hey, it's easy to gift wrap a turd.

Yes, very good, very powerful, but not really for the beginner IMO.

I've installed a dozen and used them for years in my cars. Can't really fault them, but there's some reading to do for the beginner before attempting to install or tune one.
