it's not bad, but never been a fan of e-manage. you're still going to need dyno tuning to get it right. i suggest getting your ECU chipped and tuned. Martin @ XAT does this very well, and it's a one time shot pretty much (without having to find a spot to mount huge ass blue Greddy box)

in that case go emanage it's the most universal of piggyback's besides the safc. but the safc won't get you far if you have done moderate upgrades.

then get one from enthalpy. he specializes in the mail order part, whereas XAT prefers the on-site tunes. it will be just as good and still > e-manage.

The big difference is that piggybacks don't allow you to change anything but fuel, which is only one piece of the puzzle.

-Piggybacks for hack/budget setup
-ROM tune to do it right on a street or race car
-Standalone for crazy setups (bigger maps, meth/alc/water inj, onboard boost control). Also for fanboys with mild setups and deep pockets who think speed density is the shiz booyeee!

That's lesson #2. A tuned ECU will not fix problems caused by an improperly running setup. The stock ECU/MAFS system will account for elevation. You don't think they have mountains in Japan?
