I have an AEM and it haas a **** load of options. You can easily french fry your motor if you are fiddling with settings and don't know what you are doing. IMO the XEDE with the new SMART feature is pretty nice.

Smokedmustang is correct

I hate to be the voice of dissent but I'm gonna have to say AEM EMS (if those are your choices) because its a bigger stepping stone than upgrading to a revised 16g (be it the holy white rabbit or tme). IMO the AEM EMS could stick with you longer should you decide to upgrade your turbo or run closed loop boost controll as oposed to an EBC or MBC. Even if you decide the WR isnt for you and you might want a gt35r or 3037 ya know? Id do the AEM first, wait a lil bit and get the white rabbit.

Thanks for the comments....the reason why i ask this was because i was going to get AEM and then all sudden the white rabbit decide to come out....I did research on AEM and it sounds really good....but then the rabbit came out to play and kinda change my decision....

..An honor to be appreciated by a Veteran...hooyah!

i am in the exact same predicament. my stock turbo is pretty much maxed out in terms of 1/4 mile times. im hitting 12.7 on pump 91oct and my goal is to break into the 11's on pump gas. so my next step was to save up for a AEM EMS, then upgrade the turbo. but it seems like the WR is a very cheap and economical solution, and have Works custom tune my ECU like Todd Chiamparino did on the WR reviews. i rather spend the $2000 for the WR and custom tune, over $2000+ for the EMS w/o tuning, and $2000 for a bigger turbo. i have to draw the line somewhere in this car game and 11's is where i call it quits. i dont need 600+hp (but i never said i didnt want it).
