Goddamn this car is going to be epic. Boo on ditching the OEM ECU but you seem to have a handle on AEM so all good ;)

I decided to ditch the factory ECU, I purchased an AEM EMS series 1! It’s a new AEM EMS for $599 on Ebay from AEM with the full warranty. AEM is blowing out their old series one ECU's! I have one in my talon so I'm familiar with the tuning.
I decided that I'm going with a HTA86 with a .82 hotside. I will be selling all of the components of my current setup, MAP long tube header, MAP EF4, and a MAP 3" down pipe/O2 eliminator. This is going to be an awesome winter!
Not only moving out of our turbo but moving into an FP unit :( I'll give you a PTE turbo at cost just to keep you out of anything by FP lol.

Yea, I just recently decided to go to a full T3 style turbo. Nothing against your turbo offering, I definitely liked the EF4 and it was fun participating in the early testing. My goals have changed.
As for the turbo choice I may just take you up on that offer for a BB6266?? I need to perform more research on spool vs. HP capability/stability. Hopefully the 6266 bridges the gap between the 6262 and the 6766. That is the only reason I was picking the hta86.

I dropped off the block at MAP and put a build plan in place with Chris and Kyle on the motor and the turbo/manifold. Thanks guys! 700 WHP should be easily attainable.

Looks nice. Although I wouldn't walk away from the higher compression idea just yet. Those 10.5:1's I had with the 2.4 amounted to one very fun street car. :)

I see your point but I see the point of going lower comp as well. At that power level he can have a motor that he wants to drive around that wont be so high strung all the time with a lower compression piston.
Just a thought.
