Not sure what mega-squirt costs, but I've had real good luck with the
Haltech engine management system.  Mine is an E6s that runs off a DOS
floppy of about 600kb, but the new ones can be programmed with Windows and
you get 3D graphs of all the fuel and timing maps.  When you price a new VW
ECU, and you like to tinker, the cost is real reasonable.
