I'm perfectly new to megasquirt, and much of the information is over my head, despite having scanned the manual.
All I need to know is which board to familiarize myself with for the project I'm working on.
I have a 1978 Kawasaki KZ650, which I am turbocharging.
Rather than running blow-through carbs and dealing with tuning by jet-and-error (as I've been sick of doing for 3 years with this bike), I'm going to install a GPZ 750 throttle body assembly, as well as a new set of coils, and use the megasquirt system to sequentially control the injectors and coils, listen to up to 15lbs of boost, and all otherwise associated sensors.
I am willing to spend whatever, I just need a good board or setup that will do everything I need.
Thanks!

Re: Begining a turbo KZ 650 project.
You don't need to have an open checkbook with a MegaSquirt system, you will need to be willing to learn a lot about how to DIY tune and build your system (fuel and ignition).
If you expect to just wire up a MegaSquirt and have it run good on the first try - just walk away.
If your ready to get frustrated and get plenty of help from this forum - step on it. It is very cool to build and tune your engine.
BTW read, read, and read the MegaSquirt manual
One your are SICK of looking though it then you are allowed to "skim" it.
