That would be $600 and a fair amount of work/tinkering,
nu?  Incidentally, the link above specifically says Megasquirt
(company) doesn't know what to do with WBX engines with ignition
handled internal to the ECU.  That would be the 2.1l engines with the
idle stab valve and the controller behind the taillight.

Also, for the picky - they're not street legal.  As Megasquirt says:
