Any damn ECU will allow you to blow up your engine if you don't know what you're doing... Hasn't got much to do with the ECU as such.
If you're an idiot and want to tune for yourself, then you're likely to damage things regardless of what it says on the lid of the box. But it all boils down to what one wants to do with ECU. Do you want to be able to most stuff, if not everything, yourself, then MS is absolutely the easiest. If only because of the vast amount of info available. If you want to turn it over to a tuner, then obviously you need to agree with him on the ECU. Buying cheap here, can easily be expensive if the tuner is going to bill you for research, learning while doing, etc. Brgrds Brian
