greddy emanage vs safc 2 and profec b controller

I am having trouble choosing between the safc 2 and a boost controler(probably profec B) or spending 300 or 400 more for the emanage and profec E-01. Besides sub injectors(i dont need that crap) what are the advantages and what can be tuned with emanage that cannot be done with the safc 2 and a boost controller? And which harnesses will I need for air/fuel and timing. I am just trying to justify spending the extra cash if I dont have any extra benifits. I dont really car how "cool" it looks or anything like that. I just want to be able to tune my car for the most hp. BTW I have intake, exhaust and bov currently.

The E-Manage has 256 adjustment points. The S-AFC II has 24. Plus the e-manage has full datalogging and you can monitor everything with the E-01. It is a very powerful and even has injector calibration for big injectors. It's no contest in terms of tuning.

how much time are you willing to invest in learning how to tune?

I have the s-afc and greddy profec spec-b II on mine. Very simple tuning and was cost effective for me Even though the E-manage has many more tuning capability than the s-afc, I am going with dynoflash eventually. You cannot adjust timing with s-afc BTW. If you got the money get the better one which is e-manage.

I tune for a living and have invested for more money and time than you'll ever know in getting good at it. I would always recommend taking car to local AWD dynp facility to get tuned. We only charge $200 to dial in your E-01 and E-Manage on the dyno.

Cool. I am not planning on tuning it myslef(well not at first at least). I do want to learn how to tune it but for now I will take it to a awd dyno and have it dyno tuned. I guess Ill go with the E-01 and emanage because eventually Ill be getting bigger injectors and a new turbo. Thank for everyones information and guru I appriciate the profesional opinion. Thats exactly what I was looking for.

NO problem Dark Turbo. We try to make sure our customers get what is safe and what will better suit their needs, not what makes us more profit margin. It makes us a bit different than other shops I suppose.
