DIYAutoTune.com FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions on the Mega...It takes most people new to electronics assembly 6-10 hours for their first time assembly of a PCBv3 ECU, a bit less for a PCB2.2, and the stimulator (which you should do first) is very simple and takes maybe an hour to assemble for a first-timer.

Related QuestionsCan I use the stock IAT and CLT sensors with the MegaSquirt?
DIYAutoTune.com FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions on the Mega...Yes you can in almost every case-- the exception is that you sometimes remove your stock IAT sensor as it's a part of the stock MAF or AFM on many cars. If this is the case then you'll need to add another IAT sensor to the intake tube, usually just before the throttle body, and after the intercooler if you have one. The idea is to measure the air temp as it enters the engine.
