Its cheap tat that is badly made in most cases, never seems to work consistently well, mappers hate it, it ends up costing more in the long run than just buying a tried and tested properly designed system.

We could send an ECU out, with a base map, you'd plug it in and it'd work on the first turn of the key and be driveable

 advantages/disadvantages over an omex 600?

advantages:
price
launch control as standard
loom is nice plug and play
flat shift as standard
internal map sensor
air temp sensor supplied on loom
high and low impedience injectors are simple plug and play, no need for resistors
can run mixed load input, i.e. half map sensor half tps
full sequential
one ecu can do any engine from rotary to a v8
disadvantages:
it has no omex sticker on it so people think its inferior
it is very well prices so people think its inferior
to be honest i believe the gotech to be a very very good ecu and stands up well against the competition.
spec wise they are very similar however how much of the omex stuff needs specing up at the start?
also how many load sites does the omex have per rpm range? gotech has 32

my knowledge of it doesnt go that deep im friad, but it seems that the two are very evenly match spec and pricewise, just wondering what i should go for if i did want some decent management

megasquirt can have lauch control, as an internal map sensor, has plug and plug low and high indendent injectors, and can run sequnal injection with a cam sensor
but iv bought it all now, so, might as well use it since iv spent all that money!

Yes it does, thats why a LOT of people use it on a LOT of different engines.
Map tables are 12x12 iirc
Theres a guy on mig with a turbo'd 2l 8v, running mid 12sec 1/4s, running on a megasquirt mapped by himself

see thats where paying extra comes in with other management such as gotech you get 32 load sites, it makes mapping a bit more involved but the end result is a nicer car to drive.
the fasted fwd car in south africa is a c20let running gotech, thats doing 9.8
where do you wanna stop, megasquirt is ok for a home brew effort if you know what your doing, however alot of the big names, if not all of them, wont touch it.
just things to think about if you get stuck with mapping or getting the car running, who do you turn to

Fair point, but if you dont know what you're doing you shouldn't be messing about with mapping in the first place.
