But you see, mx6's arent on the list of popular cars. Not all standalone units work with stock bosch sensors, I know my mate had to swap alot of his sensors over when he got his standalone in.

In advancedness you have to think of what features a Haltech has over a Megasquirt unit. What can it do that MS cant? Im not trying to convince you to buy a Megasquirt, just that Rod mentioned cold start issues, and I just threw out there that I have not had one cold start issue ever. And I also have never touched my cold start settings. Megasquirt is just as good for a basic setup (1% of mx6's are modified beyond fairly basic in the big scheme of things) as any much more expensive unit.

If you need 1400cc injectors and everything else that a 1500hp car needs to keep up, then you will need a top of the range $3000 unit. Look at it in what you gain per dollar. If you have a $5000 budget for your build. Why not save that $1500 for a fuel system or a better quality turbo or plumbing or whatever. I could have gone with a more expensive ECU and spent another $1500, but then I would have to sacrifice that $1500 from somewhere and I probably wouldnt of gotten rego/insurance and my fuel setup.
