For those that may be interested, I have added a "Tuning with Alpha-N" section to the manual. It is here:

As always, comments, corrections, and additions are welcomed.

Am I correct in assuming that Speed Density would still be best for a turbo strip vehicle?

sure. .. SD is best.
I like TPS accelleration enrichment too, but the MAPDot code is very cool, just started messing with it today.

Yes, with boosted engines, you MUST use the speed density algorithm with MegaSquirt, because the throttle position bears little relationship to the amount of air going into the engine.

And what do you think about the hybrid alpha-n VE(tps,rpm)*MAP?
I wonder if it delivers the correct fuel.

Depends how well you tune it. In UK, most aftermarket stuff is tuned AN
and runs well. Until you go up a mountain...(sorry in joke over here)

Just a question - why was this (below) done?
In V3.00 embedded code the fuel equation (minus the enrichments and open/close time) looks like:
PW = Req_Fuel * tps * VE(tps,rpm)
as opposed to V2.xxx code, which looked like this:
PW = Req_Fuel * VE(tps,rpm)
Note the extra factor of TPS (in red) in the V3.000 code.
