yes, you need a piggyback ecu along with proper tuning.

i know the AEM F/IC works wonders with the turbo peeps, but what about the S/C? I was going to make a post about this, but I was beat to it. Would it be worth it to get the AEM on top of the reflash?

well...considering that supercharged tc's with emanage go from 190 whp to 220-230 whp, with the stock 7 psi pulley, and the fact that the aem f/ic is superior to emanage in many ways, i'd say yes, the aem f/ic is worth the money for a good 30-40 whp gain.

The only problem with the aem fc/i is you can only pull timing as with the emanange you can add timing which is what you do with meth injection which is what people are doing to get those numbers.

If you want to get a cai I would get a wideband first this way you can see what you are running, I have a Injen cai and run fine all the way to redline with just the reflash.

jjos1, thanks for that. So basically, if I wanted to add a Meth Injection kit and I got the AEM FI/C, it wouldn't help me? Would the Greddy Emanage Blue be suffice then? Or could it just depend on the tuner, if he knows how to tune with the AEM or not?

I dont know how much timing is added when you run meth injection I would ask a tuner what they recomend.
