Default what should i go with vafc or e-manage

i was woundering what type of fuel unit i should go with the apex-i vafc or the greddy e-manage, they both seem to do the same thing. witch unit would be better to run with 310cc injectors with a t3 turbo on a d16y8. what do you guys think, let me know.

they are good for low boost, but people have had bad luck with them so they talk **** about them. And when they blow their motors they blame it on the afc, if its tunned right you'll never have a problem.

I've help tuned 4-5 cars fine w/ E-manage. They aren't junk, just not what people think it is going to be.

The difference mainly is that the AFC doesn't have the ability to adjust ignition or timing as the e-manage does, nor does it allow you to use a correction factor to have larger injector sizes.

It's not a bad system at all, you just have to know what to do.

there is no need to keep burning chips with hondata or uberdata either. I use the ostrich for uberdata and the only time I have to burn a chip is for a final hard copy tune. I can make changes with the car running using the ostrich.

emanage works well for the price but you have to use the support tool to really utilize it.

not too hard, but the emanage directions suck. but if you spend some time with it , it is kinda self explanatory
