I think I'm leaning towards the Emerald still but the cost does make me wince a little.

diyefi is based on ms pcb anyway as far as i know. also watch out for the ms ripoffs (m-tech and kDfi) thease are just copy's and dont expect any form of support from the ms comuinty as thay are not paying for the rights to use ms code and copy the hardware.
B&G openly distubute all the info so people can adapt it to work for what thay want it to do (systems running auto box's, diesels, roterys and more) but some people have taken all the work and copyed it use the same software to program it and it isnt even cheaper! please dont support thease rip offs
looking at a few there isent ant heat sinks on the igbt's so i dont expect them to last that long!

what you planing on using engine wise davey and i could narrowing it down for you

im running a 1.8 zetec and have just got a bmw k100 set of throttles to mate up when i get them in the post
i have gon for no edis so 1 extra coil driver (bip373is best) and vr pickup witch is built in on a v3 pcb you just have to put the right links in and take a few components out you dont need
you could always get one pre built or use microsquirt!
