Default Standalone ECU or piggyback computers?

Right now, my car is running with 3 piggybacks. APEXi AVC-R, APEXi V-AFC, and APEXi S-ITC. That basically allows me to control/tune all the important things (boost, air/fuel, and ignition timing). Do you guys think this is enough, or should I just sell all that stuff and get a standalone like Hondata. I need some advice, thanks!

If you run hondata, youll still need the apexi avc-r for boost controlling. Depending on what you are looking for in your car will determine if you nee the hondata. Personally, i think its worth EVERY penny, even for the simplest turbo set up. Not to be a dick, but do a search on keyword "hondata" in the forced induction column. You'll find an immense amount of info on the unit, also http://www.hondata.com. if you need anymore help just ask away...

get a standalone and get rid of all that stuff except for the avc-r. and you can ditch your FMU if need be as well.
