I have been doing research on greddy emanage ultimate and blue systems for the motor i have, ill be upgrading turbo and was wondering why you guys chose the systems you have. do you really NEED a system such as emanage if you are not going to be seriously tuning it often? should i just go with a safc?
any feedback would be greatly appreciated! cheers

If I were you, I would just install the turbo and slowly turn up the boost on the dyno. Then you will know how much boost you can run before you need something to tune it with. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Because you have a gen4, there is no plug n play EMS available for now. You will need to do a lot of wiring (like I dit with my gen4 and my megasquirt).
Do something like lagos said. Stay with the stock ecu and look at your AFR on the dyno. The AEM UEGO wideband AFR is really good. I have one and I love it. This is a must if you are doing any mods to your car. |

People have had issues with the greddy profec b. Mostly because its so hard to use, and all of the instructions are in engrish.
If you want the best, get the blitz dual selnoid one. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
