Ok I still dont under stand everything about a ems. 1st of all its a 2nd gen 3sgte ina gt. Well I want a bigger turbo and injectors an made a post for info on it and everyone says I need somthing to control the air fuel ect meaning a ems. So I wanted a safc2 since it was cheap and was told its not what I need and It messes with timeing and other things. So I was told get a ems. These are the 3 choices I have ats rom tuned with a ct27, some type of full stand alone<very expensive> and a piggy back. The piggy back I am looking at is the greddy emanage which is $400 and a emanage ultimate which is $650 and seems to have a lot of things it can do. But is a emanage piggyback going to do the same a the safc would do and mess with my timing and not do what I need it to do with a bigger turbo and injectors? Can I control one of those ems turbo kits for 1800 with a emanage setup? Cause I dont think a ct27 is enough for what I want

If you want to get any ecu, the only advice I have for you is to do your own research and talk to other people who have that unit installed on their car.
As great as any ecu is, your car wont make any power if you dont know how to use it, or cant pay someone who does.

Well I ran 14.3 with terrible wheel hop for about 60-80 ft so I know when I get the new struts and the traction issue fixed it already a mid 13 second car. I ran the 14.3 on stock boost 12-13lbs. So when I get a new turbo and can run 18+ lbs I cant imagine how much faster it will be



The problem with fwd is that it sucks for 1/4mile. You'll have a much harder time getting into 12s then a rwd or awd car, that you probably can beat on the street.
