aem 1000(damn near) plus tuning
s300 5-600 (if you find one already in an ecu) plus tuning.

If your goals are not 600+ then I would stick with what works

For your setup, s300 would be the way to go.

S200 would work too and with everyone upgrading to S300 you can get it dirt cheap. S200 is a lot better than Crome too...

None of them are "easy" to work with, but the s300 is very user friendly. U need a wideband right off the bat & a laptop to be able to make changes easily but that goes for both.
