Take a look at the cars and drivers Paz was up against, a badly setup car would not have helped his natural talent shine through.
The point was that he took the car away from me barely running, with little or no knowledge on mapping and now has a competative car.

Less users, no support, not so big expirience. I said that I like VEMS, more than MS. But that is sad the truth. If I want to build VEMS myself (not buying PCB or unit etc) - I can't find more info than this manual and some topics in VEMS-GROUP Wiki.

No progress... I take it that this means a user support base, I'm talking about dealer and aftermarket support. This has come on in leaps and bounds in the past 2 years, if you were hoping that it would become more like MS then I can see why you'd think it hadn't progressed.
For example in the last two years the place in Hungary has gone from a one man part-time operation to employing four people full time.

And what you say is correct, you can't build VEMS yourself, its a production level piece of electronics that is factory assembled and tested. This is the one clear difference between VEMS and MS.

Good luck with your MegaSquirt build though, are you planning on using EDIS or coil trigger?
Remember that you'll need a wideband and EGT system to tune the system so I hope you bare the VEMS one in mind
