The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview. While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.

Hi, I"ve got a G60 Corrado and it's already hooked up with a Idle Stablization Valve - which is known to be unreliable and prone to leaks. I'd like to hook up something that can get the car to idle at -10 degrees F and not leak. I will be soldering the board accordingly so I need to make this decision.
I'm running a g60 turbo and use the std idle valve. I placed it between the manifold and the output of the ic. This way it doesn't matter if it leaks under boost.
If you're using the original setup then you will loose boost pressure. You can get conversion kits for this.

Wouldn't the original setup (if working okay now) work with a high flow one-way valve added such as used on power brake boosters? No leaks on boost that way as it would only allow flow during vacuum, yes?
Both options are available through the aftermarket but I just wanted to see if there is a proven alternative. I suppose I am just going to use the unreliable VW ISV as a PWM valve.
