Possible breach of license

Post by subwoofer »

From the wording on the front page, it would appear they are building their own design main boards, not using the Module version. I have no idea if they have an agreement with B&G.

If you look at their News Page, you'll see pics of MicroSquirt Modules in the older stuff, and bare PCBs with footprints for a uSM in the newer stuff.

The Gen8 is MS3-module based?

Nice setup for 499 Pounds, but isn't that ~less than the MS3 module retails for?

False alarm from me there, I didn't see all the pictures. It would seem everything is in order.

And *wow* are they charging a LOT for extras! Eur110 for boost control, 60 for Nitrous, 500-1100 Euros for a harness connector?!

I'm in the wrong business ... :lol:

Wow, they even have the gall to use the Megasquirt trademark.
