> This new MS system sounds really sweet! I like the idea of less boards and
'add-ons' and a WBO2 sensor. I've been going all through their site though
and the build instructions are crazy! How did you get a complete ready to go
kit? How much was it? The complete kit they offer seems to be missing
various bits and pieces (according to the site, but I have no idea what
those bits do). Toss us some more info on this new and improved FI system.
