I had heard some stories of MS failures before, and blew them off since I had good luck with it. I was still leaning towards MS3 until I saw some people posting up on the MS forums after their injector drivers fried(over and over). After seeing that, I don't have a lot of confidence in MS3. I am leaning towards MapEcu2 or 3 because it is pretty cheap if you find it used, has a lot of features, and it is proven. Plus, I don't want to tune from scratch for my tiny HP goal.

were those people n00bs trying to run low or medium impedence injectors on their low amp injector drivers without an injector ballast? i hate to sound "elitist," but i must be cynical about this one.
i almost got bit by this when i made my rb26 harness. the rb26 ecu uses medium impedance (~8-10 ohm iirc).
doesn't ms3 have autotune like the haltechs? just drive around and hit the damn target button...
just buy a damn standalone, stockhatch.

If you consider Shaodome a MS n00b, I don't know who you can consider a pro. He has tuned cars over 700whp on MS including his own. He is also not the only one having this issue, and the engineers were scratching their heads on this one last I heard.

Adam i am not jump on your thread and tell you what you have already read or others have already told you.
I have never had a piggyback car, i was always standalone from day one when i started building my cars.The best mod i have ever done to my car was EMS.My tune was perfect i get 27 mpg on 600rwhp car, I drove my car everyday for 90 miles round trip.
I know you are not looking for some crazy power and I agree 100% that Map ecu will do it for you since you are already on gte ecu but if you are gonna get the new Map ecu 3, I would get a standalone for $200 more.

I had a relay to "disconnect" my O2 sensor when I wanted it to not mess with my tune.

I should clarify, I had a relay that would let the stock computer do it's thing, then switch to an O2 spoofer when I wanted to go into boost. This was with a MAP-ECU2
