Of course the wiring can be eliminated if someone is capable with an electrical diagram and has know-how, and you may be able to snag a used ECU out there for cheap.

It's not that the MSS70 is harder to tune, it's that it's not as commonly used so most tuners would have to spend some time finding the proper maps / etc to change in the binary which takes some time, as well as buying the proper Check-sums, etc. I've had a few 1-2 friends in the industry tell me they could tune the ECU no problem, just I've never had the need or time to bring them the car. It's definitely not a "drop it off for 1-2 hours and I'll tune it" deal like a standalone, but it's also no the something that requires a team of Nasa engineers either.
Sigh...I need to have access to capable people like that. Especially with friendly hookups
