Default s2k tuning questions

I'm looking to turbo my car and was just wondering on the best way to go about tuning it. I'm pretty much set on getting the AEM EMS V2 but is that the only thing you have to buy after you turbo it? Or do i need other things? Like if I turbo it, buy the ems, take it to someone could they tune it or do i need to buy another harness or what..? All comments are appreciated, thanks.

What year is your s2000?

What will you be using your s2000 for? Daily use? Track racing? Drag Racing?

You may want a variety of sensors or actuators...

Fuel Pressure and Oil Pressure are good to input into the ECU for logging.

Since you are boosted you probably want a boost solenoid.

AEM and Haltech both have Plug In ECUs for the S2000s up to 2005 year.

You will want to purchase a wideband oxygen sensor gauge kit along with the aem ems.
