Project Beta Help!!!!!!!

I have a dilemma. I have $3,000 to spend on my turbo stock civic. Do I A) Build to internals of the engine or B) AEM EMS, Return Fuel System, and 550cc injectors? Anything will help.
Thanks!

No! Universty of Oklahoma. I know I do need both, but right now I can only get one. So which one would be best for the time being?

Thanks hopefully one day I will be were you are in the tuning scene. The only other question I have is if I get the AEM EMS @ 7 psi will that put more wear and tear on my engine because the increase in power and torque?

with a turbo wear and tear are inevitable. over time things will happen.

IM in no way shape or form in good tuning SENSE. ive been underconstruction indefinetly.

as for u, a good tune with a top of the line unit will prolong the life of the engine at the least

To me it seems like building the internals first is the more important step. Rebuild for higher boost, and just run a safe/very low boost and deal with the car being slow until you can afford the right supporting electronics & equipment.

running safe with what u already have is more important to me, rather than paying alot of nice parts and then having to suck it up and not drive it like u COOULD bc u dont have the right tuning. the right tuning is the key to everything

Can you build the engine yourself? If so you could rebuild the motor and get AEM ems for a little over 3k. Thats what i would do.
