Default Fadec ecu questions.

Okay, here's my situation. I have a homebuilt 60 mm turbine. I want to fly with it. I need (according to AMA) an ecu. The fadec from Nades electronics seems to be what I need at the price I can afford. Manual start, egt, rpm. My questions are: What is the difference between the Fadec kit for the KJ and the MW? I know what the KJ and MW are, but why is there a difference in magnet sensors? What measurement is used to determine which one to go with? Is it shaft diameter? That magnet ring with the KJ fadec kit, does it just go on the shaft and the nut thread down over it? The shaft at the compressor end of my turbine is .250" . I also have a flightworks pump. Is this compatible? Is the Fadec used on the Wren turbines? If so, I guess I need not ask about their reliability. I'm sure these are baby questions to most of you, but this ecu thing is new to me.
Thanks for any help with my questions guys.
