Icon2 What management should I get for my 99 SI Turbo project?

I have a 99 SI. Pretty much factory. Has an intake, greddy header, and different muffler (done before I got it). I have a turbo I want to install at 6-8 PSI. Don't want to change internals or anything else. Just want to run low boost with factory set up. What computer management system should I get that would be the easiest and quickest. Hondata seems to be the norm with everyone I talk to but I don't really want to switch to an OBDI. Is there a way I can keep my OBDII. Like I said before I am not looking to run massive amount of boost or mods. Just something to make it get around 180-200WHP. I know about engines but not the import game. I mainly rebuild mustang engines(big difference from a honda). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. can I run the factory fuel pump on this setup as well. I know I have to get bigger injectors but I am not sure if the fuel pump is up to the job or not.

Apex'i Power FC, AEM F I/C, E-manage Ultimate, all can work for smaller amounts of boost pressure.

Crome for what you want, but I's still say go with s300 that way you won't have to upgrade later on. And trust me, you will upgrade later on...everyone does.

180-200whp, you don't need a turbocharger. That can be done all motor.

talk to who ever is going to be tuning your car and see which one they are more comfortable with. A wise choice would be S300 or neptune rtp. I personally prefer neptune but thats just me

I know this. I never claimed that doing it correctly would be cheap. He'll be happy with even more than just the 200whp

You guys seem to know a lot about the horsepower range for the upgrades. I have no clue on honda displacement. I could tell you pretty accurately how much V8 upgrades would do.
I have a 5.0 mustang n/a right now. I thought I would try the turbo route. I have a turbo sitting in my room for the SI that I got cheap, brand new off of someone. Pretty much just need to piece together a couple more parts before it can go on. I just can't stand driving that honda after a 300+ HP Mustang. It feels like it has no power.
Also I am having trouble finding a tuner around the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. I have tried to call some shops but they do not answer their phones. Does anyone know a good shop for tuning? I have tried Cincy speed and Zerolift autolab.

Pure Tuning in Toledo http:www.pure-tuning.com.

we're looking at what power works in the same way as you do. 200whp in a 2800lbs chassis is much more effective than 300whp in a 3500lbs chassis. At the same time, look at the power to weight ratios, the fact that the power delivery is in the upper rpm band and not the lower end band like you're used to and not just HP. You'll get a better understanding that way on how hondas work.

Going OBD1 is cheap and super easy and opens the door for much better solutions
