The Megasquirt requires a lap top to fine tune it, along with a good mapping
program. The D-jet however, is completely analog, fine tuneable, and pretty
much bulletproof, since it's already been around for 30+ years. The only real
trouble spot with the D-jet is the fragile wiring harness, as most of them have
gotten brittle by now. Paul Anders (site is listed above) rebuilds (remakes)
these for the Porsche 914 crowd, and has offered to do the same on the Samba,
as the 914 also uses the D-jet (for part of it's run). They aren't cheap, but
they are out there. : )
