ok so tunning...
beside the emanages and the aem, hydra, and unichip...what can we tune with like thats cheap... and where street tunning with a wideband can happen because ive got a great tuner just need to get a user friendly cheap management
its alright i have to wait till spring to even afford management so yea cant buy yours...for now i can just take it easy on boost and also my tunning will only be for 5.8psi i dont ever wanna exceed it
emanage blue is the simpliest you can go, even the apexi neo i've heard doesnt like the tc.. dont look for something else, get something that has been proven to work well unless you want headaches and spend extra doing your own R&D

you cant take the reading from your ECU aka MAF because its before the turbo
ZOMGGGGG I finally got my notebook to let me login!!! lol Stupid security settings in IE. Anyways Id really recommend the FIC i know others have had problems with it but my experience has been nothing but great - i know it wont advance timing - but it has alot of other features you have to pay extra for with the ultimate - software comes with it freee - and its just a usb a->b cable
(which is included) It has direct injector control (You have to buy the injector harness for the ultimate) which is another big plus - alwaysy hated tuning solutions that just adjusted maf voltage - also has the 02 sensor output which allows you to tune closed loop - and has helped me out a TON, and also has onboard MAP sensor so you can tune by MAP rather than just maf voltage x rpm. This is a big plus that you have to pay extra for with the ultimate - and all in all you can find the fic for $300-400
O yea and as for IAT - have you actually measured your IAT??? Im running a stage 0 and i designed a thermister and voltage readout to measure IAT - im probably running one of the most efficient turbos possible for my setup on 6psi (t3/t4 - 50 trim compressor - .48 exh side - water cooled) and mine are still high as hell without my meth - ive seen iat's this summer close to 150-170 without meth when it was 85-90 outside. Keep in mind this was measured right before the throttle body. With meth i saw it drop to around 110-120 in those same outside temps -just e careful man - if i was you id go intercooled or build a meth kit - i pieced mine together for about $100
Nozzles can be found on mcmaster carr, and you can find surflo pumps on ebay from time to time
Good luck with your endevours but i highly recommend - fuel mangement - injectors - and some form of cooling wether it be meth or intercooled
Next spring before it gets hot again ill be doing a water to air i/c setup with meth engaging at higher psi

don't forget Motec...
If your not running any sort of management nor intercooler, I suggest you utilize a smaller wg spring.
especially if you are not going to be doing any sort of tuning until spring.
It will help your setup survive until then.
Good luck
