Default Chip or Piggyback or?

I'm getting closer to being done with my project for the turbo here. My biggest worry now is engine management of some type. Should I go with something Like the Pro-M Remote Optimizer for fuel and an MSD DIS-2 ignition controller. Or maybe a custom burnt chip? There is also the option of getting the Supchips Pro-Racer chip, but that's $800 alone. I don't trust the Megasquirt stuff to use that for something I still will be driving every day. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Check out www.tweecer.com and see if your processor is supported. You cn do just about anything with it. Not exactly easy to learn but a very powerful tuning tool. You can pick up used ones all day long for about $400-450. That's what I'm using.

I'm just using the honda injector resistor box to run low impedance injectors on my high impedance computer. I e-mailed Tweecer to see if they have an application that will work with my car.

It's an OBDII system, not sure on what type of ECU per se.
