2) how hard is the install on a scale from 1-10?
3) cost effectiveness... emanage vs stage 1 ecu/AFC-neo
4) reliability. i drive my car everyday, and i have a 3 yo son. i cant be stranded anywhere...
5)and im stock(plus intake, exhaust, mm, tranny m, booger bushings) what gain can i expect with a proper tune?(i have an agp wg, but will intall w/ ecu)
thanks.

No it wont take away any CEL's..
2) how hard is the install on a scale from 1-10?
Not hard .. just time consuming.. I would say an 8
3) cost effectiveness... emanage vs stage 1 ecu/AFC-neo
It all depends on what you are looking for, and what will be in the Future for your car.. Big turbo, ect...
4) reliability. i drive my car everyday, and i have a 3 yo son. i cant be stranded anywhere...
If installed correctly.. you wont have any problems what so ever...

Gains are minimal to the eyes with the mods you have.. you'll provably see about 5-10whp gain throught the power band.. minimal power changes but you'll fell it.. since you'll be bringing up the boost.. thats where you'll notice the diference.
Hope this helps...
