Aem Ems? - SRT Forums

bsrt · 05-11-2008, 07:13 PM

So I plan on getting the aem but I have a stg2 comp., big turbo, and other upgrades. Should I purchase it or wait and look for other options? What problems will I have installing it? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

For an opinion. If you want to do things without fighting the PCM get the EMS. If you can tune on your own, get the EMS. If you can afford to pay for an initial road/dyno tune by a pro tuner and then learn to tweak it on your own or go back again after additional mods are done, get the EMS.

If you want simple tuning and do not have funds stick with a piggyback fuel control device. If you have or are using a piggyback device and you really hate fighting the PCM with it, get the EMS.

IMO in the end it comes down to a money thing = if you have $$$ get it.

Get the EMS

IMO if you wanted anymore hp than a Stage 1, jump right to an EMS or SCT PRP(no canned tuned SCT crap). Deffinately you should have purchased one BEFORE the big turbo. Why ever half-ass it with $1000-$1500 worth of piggy-back junk + S2 ecu. I say do it right the first time

S2 ecus are a waste of cash 95% of the time if bought new.

i have the same setup as you and i went with aem, you can put the base tune yourself and driv normally, until you get it tuned by someone thats knows aem.
