Sudhir, I was thinking the same thing.
The amount of brainwork going into this project is more than just changing

However, if these talented individuals can design and build their own ISCU
to interface with the stock ECU, well that would be good for the entire
Vanagon community.

You could always install a Megasquirt, and not have to worry about any
of this. :D
