Rep Power: 296 yep once you tune with the emanage leave it there. If you have a safc to play with you are changing all your fuel maps. Unless you are using it for the guages that it has your kinda waisting your time.
but then again this is all prep for a turbo... once i put in the turbo is it still overkill.. i was always told u should do the fuel before u boost cause u gonna run lean... or is the safc2 (or vafc2) all i need to properly boost

Well, if you are gonna use the SAFC or E-mange, then go for the Emange. You can do so much more and it cost the same.

yeah, u will need a clutch
Luckily, i've been boosting at 9psi for 4 months on stock clutch and i have 45,000 miles on my car.
not worried bout the clutch cause i already got that covered.. its just a matter of getting what for turbo prep (not including clutch or anything transmission)... but like i was saying will getting both an emanage and safc be bad or just one of em... nobodys really saying the right path here on the fuel... i mean fueal rail and injectors and fuel pump and emanage will do or what or should i just use emanage??

If you upgrade you intake pump, u will need to get a fpr and do a return fuel conversion.
Do Not get both the SAFC and E-manage. Get one or the other......u will be better off with the E-manage.
With the E-manage u can upgrade your injectors and/or get a vortech fmu with inline fuel pump.
