sorry, last q- my buddy has a megasquirt that he "built" or assembled. He's letting it go for 300. I'm assuming it would be much MORE work and time using the megasquirt, correct? Would it even be beneficial to use a megasquirt if i'm using a stock t3 turbo, FMIC, and 450 injectors?
Again, thank you.

Depends on which Megasquirt your buddy is selling. Theirs MSI and MSII which means processor. MSII is the faster processor and what all the new goodies for Megasquirt will be released for. Their is also PCB V2.2 and V3.0. I like PCB V3.0 as it has quite a bit of goodies on it not mention optional injector impendance choice, so you can use High or Low Imp injectors. I prefer High less work involved. $300 can be reasonable or a rip off. DIYAutotune sells MSII V3.0 assembled and warrantied for around $410.00
Depending on what your planning to do Megasquirt can be more work or it can be a walk in the park.
As for would it be beneficial. Any standalone would be beneficial in any power output. It pisses me off that people believe you need a standalone for big power. Standalones are about precision control over the motor, and extra duudads
So yes it would be beneficial not to mention it will make your life easier.
If you havent already noticed I'm the creator of that write up, and it was my first standalone install and first wiring job aside from CD player installs, it was pretty straight forward and surprisingly easy to install.
I spent around $500 to install. This included ECU, harness, Megaview, Stimulator, Machine work, and ignition parts. Some were option and can cost you around $340 without the optional stuff.
