You can do open loop boost on ms1/extra, but you can't do closed loop, the algorithm doesn't really work.

I think the confusion is this: MSExtra is just software. It gets loaded onto the stock Megasquirt processor. There is MSExtra for MS1 and MS2 (no idea on how the MSIII is being done). Then, there are optional hardware mods which can be applied to support some of the features MSExtra provides in software.

MSIII only has 1 firmware option, it's based on ms2/extra originally, but very much extended.
