Default Help on DIY turbo kit.

This is my first time dealing with turbos, I've built quite a few engines mostly sb and bb gm stuff. Now I'm building up my little stock 91 1.6 im looking for a low boost setup goals of about 160-180 nothing crazy. And I'm looking at the greddy e-mange blue ecu to tune my car for the boost. Not sure what turbo I want yet. But would the ecu be able to tune to make the cat run right? I'm slowly piecing all my parts together. Figured I better start by figuring out how to tune it before I go all in with the rest of the parts. I'm also on a budget other wise I'd get a MS.

By the time you finish buying all of the parts, how much did you save by NOT getting a MS?

You will likely spend 3,000 or more on the build.

You savez like 200 bucks. Used poo vs. Used MS

Figuring out the tuning first is correct.

Honestly, I don't think you will get a ton of help on this board with the Greddy management stuff. This crowd (for some very good reasons) is very MS-centric.

My questions are: What does the E-manage cost vs a used MS unit? Or versus a Brain or Rev built unit from these boards? If you cant get info on how well the E-manage is going to work before you buy, how much support can you expect when you have questions during tuning?

He has not been on since he posted. Chances are he is not coming back.

A fair assessment.
