The only customization is mounting the trigger wheel and a bracket for the vr sensor. These nogs will set you up with some real ----.... http://www.trigger-wheels.com/

The most bullet proof method would be EDIS with either MS-1 or MS-2. Second best would be running any waste spark coil pack directly from MS. MS-1 will do it for sure with Extra code. Not sure about MS-2. MS-1 with Extra will also run COP in a wasted spark configuration. Also remember it now has a wheel decoder so if your setup has a stock crank sensor it probably can be used without the hassel of installing the 36-1 tooth wheel from the ford setup.

yea, but the advantage of the ford setup is its popularity. Finding all the calculations for dual cam sensors on toyotas and ---- is a bit out of your average enthusiasts reach. There is a section in the msII manual that gives you everything you need to setup the ford system.

You can't use the wheel decoder with EDIS, but you can run wasted spark. I've installed about 5-6 Megasquirts on mates cars now. Not done much tuning of them, but i'm familiar with the hardware options.

Using an MS1 here with SnS-Extra firmware on an Ford 2.3T I added EDIS to. Works real nice

For what it's worth I build megasquirt boxes and I have run BMW Coil on Plug motors in wasted spark with COP coils successfully using 6 680 ohm resistors, 6 VB921 and 3 spark output signals.
