I thaught the same but removing unnessesary wires and gearbox ecu took me less than half day. I ordered immo removing chip for 19 dollars and it needs only to connect 3 wires. I mess with stock ecu because of tight budget. Megasquirt will be there after year or two when I'm going to boost it. It saves my time too because it works smooth as a dream with stock ecu. With 32v engine MS is ok but with 40valve it would be a nightmare....it has 3stage intake and insane cam timing....

I haven' ship tu USA before but Maybe its possible.....
