I had a megasquirt setup on my vw van.
Very easy to wire, and run. If you have any problems setting the
system up, there is TONS of info on the megasquirt forums.

I put a hole in the intake plenum for intake pressure, and ran hard
vacuum line to the megasquirt MAP sensor.
For the fuel injectors, I bought 4 injector plugs, and wired them up
using 2-connector insulated wire.
I don't remember what I used offhand for ignition, but I remember
using the stock ignitor.
Hope this helps some. :)
