Find your local rolling road and ask what they like to Map. Its the quality of the Maping that you will see and not the name on the ecu.
Ive done an omex for some one, it was ok. Rolling road / tuner was 100 mile round trip which he ended up doing three times before getting it in the
ball park.

Absolutely, if you're trying to tune yourself then megasquirt is probably best as you'll get support with starter maps and help for free
on the internet - but it's more of a struggle and will probably cost the same or more in the long run compared with an ECU/software your rolling
road operators know well.
Edit: There's probably not a lot of rolling roads on Malta though...

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

As before plus I have a DTA and they were less than helpfull if it had not been for an excellent local rolling road I would be struggling.

Get your self Dave Walkers book on engine management, good info especially on the Emerald ECU as Dave's company supplies them . Found them to be
very helpful with regards set up etc and the ECU is very easy to get up and running with built in air/fuel ratio meter making fueling an easy job.

I'd recommend Emerlad for a great ECU and loads of help.
But check that your local RR are experienced with it!

There is one rolling road in malta and they aren't too helpfull when it comes to diy'ers. I thank you all for the advice, Megasquirt might
be a right I have a wide band o2 sensor.
Is it so hard to get the fueling sorted once you have a basemap?

Philly, Johan is 'up the road' from you in Mriehel. He maps haltech, Motec and AEM. He also has a rolling road.
