MSnS V2 pcb3.57

Recently deciding to purchase mega squirt, and not quite sure what is necesary for my engine setup all of my sensors seem to be good but im not sure where my iat is, i think it is possibly deleted in which case i would want to purchase the iat from diyautotune.com. I was also not able to find much on running only the MSnS without the stock ecu and still having function of your DLC under dash and inspection and everything...just looking for some solid advise before making final purchases

The IAT is on the back of the intake manifold near the passenger's side. All of your stock sensors will work with Megasquirt except for the IAT and CLT. There is a way to configure Megasquirt for the stock IAT/CLT but it's not worth the trouble.

There are a few threads on the 2GNT about running MS as a full standalone with no stock ECU at all. Most of the stock dash gauges are hardwired to their own sensors, so only the tachometer and maybe one or two idiot lights won't work. Of course, there are work-arounds as Megasquirt allows you to output a tach signal, etc..

DIYAutotune is a really great company, but I suggest looking into purchasing your unit from a company better versed with the 420A/Neon setup. They should be able to configure your unit completely so you won't have to make any hardware modifications as you would with a "universal" box (i.e. no 420A modifications).

I agree, i do plan on purchasing the IAT sensor as well as the MS2 EMS system, MAPDADDY 44 BAR MAP sensor(only for the baro correction) wiring harness and tuning cable, and the IAT is a GM Open Element IAT im not sure if i need anything else, where would you suggest that i find a kit more closely realted to the 420a?

Dont forget the watertemp sensor. Velocita makes them! RSautoport use to make them just for the 420a(where I got mine) but I believe they got out of the bussiness
