I have my MS kit on the way, what tuning program do you guys recommend? I already have Megatune on my laptop, but Ive also heard of tunerstudios and a few others. Whats the most user friendly?

TunerStudioMS is the new de facto standard for tuning Megasquirt ECU's. MegaTune is great for MS-I, but TunerStudio also supports MS-I and has a more features. MegaTune is not capable of handling some of the features in the latest MS-II firmware versions (mainly the 3.x alpha code).
Most other tuning suites for Megasquirt are deprecated; such as MegaTunix, which was originally MegaTune's counterpart for Linux. TunerStudio uses the Java virtual machine, so it's cross-platform.

Really? Wow, shows what happens when I do not stay current on the MS forums. I will have to check it out.
You're fine if you're using MS-I or MS-II with MS2/Extra 2.1.0 or older. You shouldn't encounter any problems using MegaTune in those cases, but TunerStudioMS does offer a lot more features.

Do you know what version will come with my ECU? I assume the most recent? I have both tuner studios and megatune on my laptop now. I must admit I like the gauge layout of megatune more, but I guess Ill see when I get the ECU wired in.
Also, will I have to install new intake and coolant temp sensors or can I just use the stock ones since I will be removing the stock ECU completely?

I'm not sure where you got your ECU from, but MS2/Extra 2.1.0d is the latest stable release of the MS2/Extra firmware.
The gauge layout in TunerStudioMS is completely customizable. Take some time to experiment with it; you can make it look just like MegaTune.
You won't have to install new sensors if you're removing the stock PCM. MS-II ECU's can read the stock sensor directly, without modification.

I ordered it from Symtech labs, of course I ordered it on the 14th with the stepper motor control option.

I know I'm a bit late, but you should've held off a couple months for MS3... gonna be the shit! As far as tuning programs, MT will not work with MS3 (for future reference), and the new TS is awesome with the VE Live with Lambda delay. Also has a 'Lite' mode that uses less resources, as TS did seem to drag my laptop battery down 400,000,000 times faster than MT. It's Java based, nice to use, it's my new go-to.
