Rtek7 2.1 .~VS~. Mega Squirt V3???
So I'm on the Market for a ECU, I have landed on two choices Rtek7 v2.1 and the Mega squirt v3?
So which one is better?
Pros and cons?
(note: I'm looking for about 300whp with 720cc injectors BNR stage 3 turbo and a front mount intercooler, it that realistic with these two?)
I would love some insight from Owners of one of these two ECUs. thanks!

Really, you're comparing 2 different animals. The Megasquirt is a full standalone and the RTek is a chip installed in the stock ECU that allows adjustments to the stock settings. I've never used either, but from the research I've done, I think the RTek would be all you need for your planned setup.

Yea I know that they are different, I guess my question is... Does all the headache that goes into making the megasquirt work, worth the end result? Or would I be able to do a good amount with the easier to use Rtek?

If you're comfortable assembling an entire ECU yourself and tuning it all yourself, I'd probably go for the Megasquirt. It gives you full control over all engine parameters and leaves you more room to grow in the future, in case you want to get a bigger turbo or radically ported motor or something.

the Rtek has a lot of things going its way
1. its in the car!
2. since it starts with the stock map, you just tweak it
3. stock ecu based means it wont have weird ignition/trigger issues.
the cons against the Rtek are basically that its 8 bit vs whatever the MS is, so its slower
there are lots of people who have had good results with the MS, but since its DYI there are also people with weird problems. it also doesn't do things like sequential fuel injection, it doesnt have a lot of load points, etc etc.... its also not cheap if you buy a prebuilt one.
