megasquirt help again pls!

hi guys, ime building a rover t series turbo (620Ti engine)locost, ive ripped out mems ecu and fitted megasquirt. i realize that my engine choice is not the norm but i picked up the engine (brand new and crated) from a rover auction for pennies. ok. i have a MS runing EDIS and a innovate lc-1 sensor installed. Dont ask me how but ive got the engine running and idling, the bit i carnt seem to get my head round is tuning the damn thing. can anyone help me with the constants even?

afr gauge reading very erratic?
have read megatune manual a few times now and i have would have a great respect for anyone who actually understands any of it...
ime very reluctant to mess about too much with my settings as engine is new and i know washing the bores with a very rich mixture can be bad

any ideas?

Short answer take it to a rolling road. While it is possable to get it close by f*****g about yourself, its worth the few quid to have it right. Mine went from 160 bhp to 174, plus torque figure was most impresive. HTH Ray
