I'm gonna wait till it's warmer out and do it over a weekend I know I won't be driving anywhere!

I'm a computer technician and took a year of Automotive in college, I'm sure I can get it working in one weekend!!

I haven't decided yet. I will make that choice when the weather gets better.

I remember when I had my cavalier, there was a perfect spot under the dash right below the defroster vent for one....

its aem's version of a greddy e manage, which is much more responsive and respected then the inferior aem product.

IIRC the E Manage works a little different in how it wires in to the ECU vs a traditional piggyback right?

or is this not correct?

no your correct, but the basic tuning benefits provided by both products is ment to be similar.

ive never been a piggy back fan, but if i do have to sell it i sell the e manage.

hmm..did some reading...was planning on buying the AEM...but looking at the Greddy eManage system...sounds like it does the same thing....and for the extra 500 you can get the in car programmer/boost controller unit..includes data logger...so for about 7-800 get powerful programming and the ability to program on the fly with presets that you make...i'm leaning toward the eManage....

then again..you have to pay extra for the harnesses and junk that come with it....so...cost wise if you are just doing the tuning via laptop it will cost about the same.....

back to leaning to AEM...picking mine up in a few weeks...tax refund money :-)

the other site doesnt have it yet, but yea aem told me to they are building the harness.. them harnesses are 400 some bucks on aems site.. the tech himself was like wow they are to expensive.. luckily when i buy the aem, the harness should be out yet.. cause i aint got the ***** to mess with soldering wires and all.. plus thats something to big for me to mess with..
