Default Megasquirt for Zetec Turbo

Been looking at the megasquirt kits on Trigger-Wheels., specifically this one : http://trigger-wheels.com/store/contents/en-uk/d31.html Im going to be using an HO inlet. What other bits do I need to go along with this? Any other sensors etc? Am I better spending a bit more and getting the Wideband Controller and Sensor? Im completely new to Turboing and any help is appreicated

No mate I don't have the first clue about mapping. So if I ain't mapping it I won't need wideband?

I'm sure I will be corrected if I'm wrong, from what I've read you won't need it once its mapped, so as long as the mapper has wideband you should be fine.

If you do have a wideband you could run a afr gauge tho, something goodto keep an eye on.

quite a few of the lads in the rs turbo section are running squirt now, plenty of help there.

Cheers Stu

Yes you'll want a wideband with or without tuning it yourself. Megasquirt will adjust accordingly if wideband changes to much while driving (tune is off).

Also why are you looking at trigger kits, does your flywheel not had a trigger wheel behind it?
