Default Greddy Emanage or VAFC-II

I need some opinions on this...
I drive a 1996 civic ex turbo which is still OBD-2, and I am in need of some tuning. I am running between 8 and 9 psi on an FMU. I am trying to decide on which to buy; a VAFC2 or the emanage system. Does anybody on here know anything about the emanage? How easy it is to tune with, I know that the emanage can adjust fuel curve at 5 pre-set points +- 20% and is a more reliable engine management than the FMU will ever be, and the VAFC2 can adjust +-50% in 100 RPM increments which I can see would free up more power than emanage would because the fuel curve would be based on every 100 rpm rather than every 2000 rpm. My question is basically, which one should I get? Which is the better deal for me? Which is a more powerful tuning tool? I only have the cash for one of them, and they cost about the same price...
Thanks,

I am tired and slightly drunk, but I'd give tohe win to e-manage as it has timing control.

Or you could continue saving for AEM. I kicked myself for buying piggybacks and then losing money reselling them.

Go stand alone man. An obd2a to obd1 harness adapter can be found on ebay for cheap. Go check out pgmfi.org. Run with uberdata or crome. I use turboedit on my crx and it works magnificantly. All the experience I have had with uberdata was great also. Just take a look, you can probably get everything you need to go obd1 and the harness for less then you would spend on a piggyback.

Hey man clear your PM's and buy my turbo. Thanks for the info, I'll check it out. I have a p28 ecu in another one of my cars, where do I get it socketed?

If you have a steady hand, it's pretty simple to socket it yourself. Otherwise a lot of electronics repair shops will do it fairly simple. I'd do it for you but I don't have very steady hands haha

uberdata is not standalone, and hondata is just as good!
