I am ok with what I have. Remember I am doing a MegaSquirt and not  all the 
factory FI components just some of them.  But I will need to do  some 
improvising with the breather system. 
 
 
What Jim is trying to get at, is the mechanical parts of the stock D-jet  
FI system need to match. Yes, even with MS, since you're based off the stock  
components. Since your heads have the extra port (for the PCV system),  you 
really need a matching air cleaner that has the extra ports, or your  
system won't function as it was designed (the mechanical part of the system).  
Those ports draw clean air into the engine.
 
Something to keep in mind, you're basically replacing the stock ECU,  
distributor, and wiring harness with MS parts. The rest is still stock  D-jet 
parts. Are you swapping injectors too? Or re-using the stock ones?  You'll 
still need the AAR, as it's there for cold start idle control (warm  up). Are 
you just doing fuel, or are you using a trigger wheel, and  controlling spark 
too?  It sounds like just fuel. If you get the trigger  wheel, then you can 
do spark too.
 
If you do a search on the Samba, and on STF (Shop Talk  Forums) you'll find 
others have done the MS swap, using stock components,  and have had good 
results with it. But, they re-used as many matching  components as possible.
