So in all honesty how long should it take a noob to setup and tune their MS2?
I haven't done MS-2, I've done MS-I. There are processor, pin out, and board differences.
If "setup" means assembly: I don't know, I've never assembled one. I think they take around 8-16 hours to assemble if you're familiar with them. They need to be tested after assembly. It's not easy to get it right the first time, you'll need a very good soldering setup, and a lot of patience.
If setup assumes a pre-built properly configured megasquirt & integrate with the existing wiring: With an adapter harness like what I've been making, about 5 minutes. If you want to build the harness yourself, probably about 2-4 hours, if you're careful. Crossing ECU wires is not good.
I've done most of the homework for you and I've tested the wiring adapter diagrams for the 22re.

Nuther question for ya. If I run the stock dist MS will still control advance/retard etc?
For VAST igntion systems (IE - 22RE ignitor) it will give you total control over timing, 144 points of timing control total.
For 22R systems, you can keep the stock distributor and not worry about timing at all. Just do it fuel only.
You can do timing control over 22R systems also, but that's another discussion.
