With headers, cat back, intake, throttle body whatever, this ecu will still help out tons. The emanage also takes alot of skill to program, which for some people is great as they have that skill. The RRM box is great as it is a simple snap in and go with no tuning knowledge or errors needed.
Yeah I agree with this. I was also told the same thing by RR. I'm not trying to say that RR product is bad..... I think it's good. But if your going to eventually turbo it etc. I think could be good going with the Greddy....... I agree with the set up...Greddy's is hard to use and time consuming....found that out on my RX7 Turbo.

If it's the E-manage your refering to..... better be a reputable performance shop with a dyno...... Like Guru said if your not putting heavy duty mods like Turbo..... then it's probably better to stick to RR piggyback. Then you can install it....or any decent mechanic.

I agree with Guru and I second what T.O. said, if you are not going to be modding the hell out of this car, and I do mean SERIOUS changes, then go with RR. I know I'm not going to mod mine to any extremes, so I really don't need a higher performance part when I won't maximize the effectiveness of it. Just figure out what you're going to do in the coming yrs to it ski, and buy what u need.

I was just going back in my e-mails sent by Rock to me.... and this is what he told me about the RR and the E-manage......Emanage sucks hard. We have tried it. If you can get it to work and
you have a few hundred dollars to spend on dyno time it can do everything
our ECU piggy does but nothing more.

well..... if your going to do the whole shabang.... then I would say you would probably need it because you'll start running lean. If your going to do it do it right. Get all of the temp gauges....etc. When you get a turbo.....unless you have unlimited funds to spend......keep it at the recommended boost if you want your Ralliart to last. My Acura's turbo (in my picture to the left) is from Greddy running with 6 pounds of boost..... I know I could have raised it a lot more.... but I didn't want to destroy the engine before I even reached 100,000. For my Ralliart.... I'm sticking to exhaust and intake....already done.... headers I'm waiting for and consulting RPW. My shop and I are debating wheather to try to take on the E-manage.... or just cheat and get the easy RR Piggyback.

Best advice.... I only repeat what RR tells me about their products....... which I might add is really dedicated to the Ralliart before any one else
