AEM's Plug & Play Engine Management System (EMS)

Just was looking on tornactives web site and they have listed the
AEM's Plug & Play Engine Management System (EMS) for the 2001 and up civics. Has anyone every used this? I know its alot more than the greddy emanage but it says that it comes with a plug in harness for forced induction engines.
Just wanted some opnions.

SO than what should a person do about tuning? I keep reading how there is a few people with the emanage that say theirs work just fine, and others that say they have nothing but problem. What is the best way to tune a civic with the sf turbo kit?

As well with the Aem EMS. to tune it correctly will cost about 1500 yes its plug and play. but you wont get everything out of your car if you dont have it profenally tuned on a dyno.

But when you do have it tuned, or learn to do it yourself, you'll have a car that runs a lot better than any car with the S-AFC or V-AFC.
