yea im just gonna run it around 5psi for a while to break the engine in and then I'll start tuning which I know can take a while a un tune car is like having no car at all sometimes...
 
Yea I plan to run 25psi but not until I break the engine in and I don't want to run high all the time so I would turn it down and when I need the power back I would crank the boost to back
 
AEM doesn't make a harness for the 420a - and to my knowledge it does not have provisions to handle the 420a's "unique" crank trigger wheel. That's a no-go.

Otherwise, I'd go for a MegaSquirt, and use the pile of money you saved by not purchasing the AEM EMS to invest in larger injectors.

Don't forget to add a new water-pump, oil-pump, timing belt, idler, and tensioner to that wish-list.
 
Yea im good with wiring but perfer a pnp just seems like less things to go wrong now does megasquirt completely replace the stock ecu or do you piggyback it? Theres a few things I have started with this car but before I go off buying stuff I want to be 100% that everything will go together well...
 
You can do either. You can ease into it and use it to log only, leaving the factory ECU in control of everything else, then move onto letting the MS control fuel, then fuel + spark, then finally full control if you want.
