2 mod paths one with AEM ems one without what do you think?

Mod path #1

-Hallman MBC $60
-3in Ultimate Racing Turbo Back with Off road pipe $450 used
-Busher Air filter $80
-Busher Maf pipe $200
-Small battery setup $120
-Busher Upper IC pipe with 1g BOV $330
-Busher FMIC $750
-Walbro 255lb $90
-Dyno Flash Custom dyno tune$350-400

Total being $2480 and around 310-320whp i think let me know your thoughts

Mod Path #2
-AEM EMS system & 3.5 Map installed and dynotuned bye Turbo Trix $2040
-Air filter $45
-Hallman MBC $60
-3in Ultimate Racing Turbo Back with Off road pipe $450 used
-Small battery setup $120
-Busher Upper IC pipe with 1g BOV $330
-Walbro 255lb $90

Total being $3135 and around 320-330whp i think also let me know what you think.

Out of thse 2 mod paths which would you say is the smarter route to go adn why, also what kinda WHP #s do you think i will put down as well as what times do you think i will run?

Next line of mods will be Busher FMIC, and either HKS 264's or 272's, Injectors, then i will let it be untill i need an excedy twin disc.

Just need to get her into the 116-120mph range when all said and done.

Thanks
JB

Also i will be on 93 octane 99% of the time.

CAR is stock and will be doing this all over the next few weeks

To me it's worth going for the AEM EMS. That's the only fuel computer ever going on my evo. Nothing else.

I agree with Madwheel, with one question... do you live in an area where you have anual or semi anual smog testing? You will not pass with the AEM because the diagnostic port will no longer work. If that isn't a problem then go for it!

I went custom dynoflash and kinda wish I had gone with an AEM. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. My dynoflash setup runs well but I really wish I had gone AEM for the MAP conversion. I just cant justify spending an extra 1500 for it (cost money to have it tuned right plus you need to buy the MAP sensor) since I am on such a tight budget.

You do not need a MBC with the EMS, it already has one built in. You don't need the small battery and intercooler pipe. Use that money on injecters and then buy cams. Get the EMS if you want real power and a smooth ride. Make sure you chose a good tuner or else your car will run crappy. Once you have the injectors and cams get an intercooler. I suggest the AMS over the Buschur because of the severe turn on the endtank. That is only an opinion. I would also buy a new blowoffvalve. You do not have to recirc anymore so go HKS. Most importantly ensure you have a clutch to handl all the added power. If you have a stock clutch, kiss it goodbye soon after the track. Good luck.
