Default Engine Management on LS/Turbo

I finally finished building the motor for my 1994 Integra LS. I'm using a garrett t3 turbo with a fully sleeved block and 9.1:1 compression. I was wondering I'm looking to run around 15psi regularly and I know the motor won't last very long without good engine management. I've heard that the aem ems system is a very good system but I'm hoping not to have to throw out $1300.00. I'm not sure if I need a computer with that much tuning capability. I just want my motor to last pretty long just like everybody else. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I'd start off with using a Hondata. It has enough of the flexibility you'll need for your application w/o the complexity of the AEM EMS.

Which Hondata unit. S100, S200? Also im planning on using a vortech 12:1 fuel pressure regulator. Does that take any worries off of tuning and getting a more complex fuel controller?

Also, what about a boost dependent FMU and an A'pexi Fuel computer. Would that work for my application or no. I know it wouldn't be as adjustable as the hondata but I would also be able to adjust fuel without having to go to a tuner to have them tune it for me.

i've got the AEM EMS and i love it. but i first started off with a hondata as well. it's not the best unit out there but it's a start in the right direction.
