I think it needs to be pointed out how much work and expense just the loom is, sterling. You gotta advertise correctly.

The bare harness sells for $500+ and that has one plug on it and 8 feet of individual wires. It has to be custom made for each car. This one was made identically to the factory 928 harness, used the factory routing, and has a factory boot where it goes through the firewall.
The motec is set up for sequential fuel injection, and works well for the 928. It even contains the wire for the timing belt sensor and works just like factory.

Forget about the hardware, the tune information alone is worth the $2700. To be able to wire in a motec, and just turn the key and have the car running? C'mon! How many hours would it take to get the car idling correctly, and then have to tune WOT and all the transitions in between? This is a great deal.

Actually Adam, the tune is useless... Because it came off a 6.4L w/ variocam everything else would need to be changed.
The real cost benefit here is the harness as BC points out. I am building a VEMS harness for my own personal car with many changes (3 plugs in the engine bay for easy disconnect and engine pull). So far I probably have close to 12 hours into it. Every joint is gone over, I have documented everything from each wire code to the pin outs on each plug to ensure that it is fully traceable later.
Not an easy or cheap task. And when you have as many in/outputs as VEMS or MoTeC such as even sequential EFI/spark (I will be running sequential COP but not injectors), the extra amount of wires is INSANE!
