going turbo, engine management?
OK, well. I need to get head work, so I'm going to go turbo when it's done. I'm clear on just about everything needed to go turbo except for engine management. This an 89 CRX DX with a ZC swap. I've heard of ghettodyne, It's just a chip you add to your ECU. well I want it to be safe, I don't plan on pushing that much boost right now, I'm still using the stock block. maybe 10lbs. at the most. I just want it to run reliably. Any ideas?

Why? I mean yes it's nice and all, but why? The ZDYNE gold works very well as does the Hondata. They are very similar.
I am not a fan of AEM, Electromotive. FAST is a decent system. If you are going to spend the money I would look into Autotronic or MoTeC. Hell teh M4 Honda kit is $2,500. Not worth it IMHO for his set-up.

FAst is nice if your going hard core- but system w/ the dig 7 ignition package is damn close to $3500 im personally goin w/ aem due to injector size-- aem handles it much better than hondata imo and it is cheap comparitivly speakin

Do you plan on running larger then 880's just out of curiosity?
