Which EMS should i use?
Ok, i'm having a hard time deciding on a engine management system. I know there arn't any IX systems out yet so just base your suggestions on the 8. The EMS must be capable of converting over from a MAF to MAP system (and i mean a fully funtional MAP system, not a simulator). Second, if must have selectable maps, perferrably 3 but 2 is ok. It must be able to control boost (like the AEM with a GM solonoid). It would be a plus if it supported OBDII. Lastly, i'm going to be tuning this evo for track competition + daily driving, no draging or such so i don't know how much of an impact that can make on choices but from what i've seen here, most of you guys just run 1/4s which is not in my agenda so i'm assuming a majority of EMS system might be biased towards drag instead of track (can't think of any differences in ECU that would specifically make it for drag or track but just covering my bases here). Money is no problem. My main choices where AEM, MoTec, and i just recently started looking into Turbo XS. Thanks

The AEM was my only choice..........but it doesn't have obd II,I suggest using a 3.5 map or a 5 if you can.I don't know about selectable maps haven't gotten that far yet.

A MAP system is Manifold air pressure system + speed density, and a Maf Trans Pro, is a type of MAP Simulator that give off MAF reading based on sensors other than MAF, usually some MAP sensors and speed and load sensors, neways thanks for you help, i really don't know too much right now so thanks for not flaming

And 3rd it sounds like you dont even own a Evo and you have NO idea what your getting yourself into with EMS setups.....do the research
