We'll at least get you guys wired up and ready to go, so that it'll just be tuning to do when the parts are all in on your cars! 
We may even have time to get Keola up as an NA car correct?

n/a will be up and running soon...do you want me to wait for the wires coming from you now? or just hook her up?
woohoooo...finally got some ems

Depends.. do you need to drive it in the next week? But honestly you have everything you need to get up and running right now. You may end up without a tach, but that's about it.
The thread called "wiring your EMS" has the basics for you guys spelled out in it already. I'm working on the other document but it is turning into a small knovel. I'm already at 2.5 pages single spaced and I've only done the ignition coils. I'm being very "thorough" and explaining two different ways to wire it at all times... so. it'll get long but it is EASY!

. I'm being very "thorough" and explaining two different ways to wire it at all times... so. it'll get long but it is EASY! also, Dave mentioned that he has his microtech spliced in on his stock water temp sensor and the stock ECU and the EMS got along fine. I'm a little surprised by that, but if it is true, that's great and you can do that as well. Otherwise, it's just a matter of getting another OEM sensor and making a spot for it to go.
Yes, you don't replace ANY stock sensors.
The only two concerns we have are the alternator and the tachometer. Everything else works just fine we know for sure. Both of those I understand the problems for, and if they do show up we have workarounds we will be trying out and testing. Then once that is proven out, we are 100% ready to go. So honestly if Keola's installation goes well and he is up and running NA in a couple weeks we are all set and Microtech's will officially be fore sale. Those workarounds however effect pricing and that is why no official price has been released other than to say that it most likely will be under 1400.

Should actually have a rather good idea in either in the next 2 days to the next 2 weeks. The installation manual is done as far as wiring/install. Just haven't finished the setup portion. Not too bad of a document. Only about 7 pages of instructions and that is with everything spelled out completely.
Well good news bad news... the car is up and idling and tuneable at this point. We are trying to sort out the alternator still, so that is moving along. The car runs decent and is starting up with out a problem. We got sidetracked with a crazy problem that ended up being the IAC's fault. That is taken care of and now the car purrs nicely. Schedules have been hectic as hell, but John and Dave have been patient and we are making progress. Should be in great shape by the end of the weekend we hope!
Thanks,
Steve
