I'll add to Pauls comment on MS... I researched just about everything out there... Capabilities etc.. Also sampled some tuning software to see how good the human interface was... The 3rd consideration was support and parts availability... last was price.
Hands down MS comes in on top when you put all those factors together. Tuner Studio is pretty easy to get a feel for... Most parts you can get anywhere any time except the ECU and its pretty rock solid. Features are equal or better than the name brands, Support... usually you can(will IMO) find your answers on the web site. With plenty of users that have the answers because someone has been there done that good or bad and has that knowledge to pass forward 24/7.
MS3 pro ECU and Harness is a top shelf deal and going for around $1300 last I looked... Does everything you need(very well) and more. Datalogging abilities(high capacity) onboard, auto tuning, boost control, shift control...basically a full blown engine/drivetrain management system. Turn on what you need add features later without having to buy the features "locked" by the manufacturer when it was built
The Accell ignition stuff I sold you will work fine with your blow-thru its a good ignition setup with nice features...but reason I abandoned the plan was finding out how much more I could do with the MS stuff... even MS2.
Imo decide how much of your turbo's HP capability you will feel comfortable using and buy the injectors that meet the fuel requirement at no more than 90% of their 100% duty cycle rating. (85% is safer yet) Good injectors arent cheap but thats an area you dont want to skimp on.
Good news is your Blow-thru stuff will sell at fair price and often if you trust the source you can find deals on used injectors from a racer stepping to higher levels. Things like throttle bodies and sensors can be used stuff from a wreck or new stuff from your favorite local auto parts store.
I'll make you a hard copy of info from Ford racing that does a great job of explaining how to properly select fuel injection components. About 5 pages and probably only info you wont use is choosing MAF size(unless you are buildn somethin we dont know about). Check your mail next week!
I'm pretty certain I'll be using two single barrel throttle bodies linked in tandem somewhere on the front of a ram type manifold. Possibly make box type ram that houses an a/w intercooler core...
