Hi, gang- been away dealing with some family emergencies, but getting caught up on this now. Basically, we're in the same boat. We ordered a bunch of stand-alone ECUs for early adopter customers (as seen in the group buy section) and are waiting.

I finally managed to connect with EG21 (the phone number I had on file was out of date) and we spoke a bit. First I'm hearing about a refund here. Obviously, though, if EG (or any other customer) no longer wants the product he's waiting then that's the only reasonable path forward. Hit me with a PM and we can go from there.

Thanks to rttadam for letting me know about what's being said on this thread (by all the usual suspects, no less- glad to see they haven't forgotten about us). I'll be checking in more regularly in the coming days.

Emtron, bosch, and motec are simply way too expensive, pro efi could be considered but Jason siebels will charge bt the hour for coding for firmware to support the platform, and all the other systems im aware of haved no option for configurable can

Quick update: one of the customers who was in on the initial group buy dropped out (understandably) after many delays. Once the ECUs are in-hand here in Illinois we will roll out another group buy for the ECUs we have in-hand only at the same price, so that no one who ends up being "punished" for not being an early adopter. Thats should eliminate future issues with delivery delays related to the ECUs.

Thanks for staying with us on this one. If you've looked around the other threads today, you can probably tell that I'm mostly almost all the way back to normal. Expect even more interaction and updates next week.
