Hi, before you purchase MPGuino you have to be aware that it will require some wiring changes on the board itself and definitely changes in the code. So maybe it would be better for you to buy Arduino clone and build MPGuino on your own? It's not so complicated, and I'm sure you'll find lot's of informations and assistance if needed here on EM.

And remember to make a bucket test of fuel flow on return line before you'll purchase any flow meter. It's crucial to get FM that will be counting small enough amounts of fuel to be acurate, and big enough to not strain itself with maximum fuel flow in the system.
