Any ideas for an ECM upgrade on an '87 TII?

I am setting up an '87 TII with some mild mods. What are my options? I also have an FD that I am using the Power FC on. I don't know what my options are for this car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Thanks,
Shaun

i have an rtek 1.7 on my 87 t2, and an safc2

thats about all you should need if you keep the power mods to a minimum (as in no upgraded turbo besides maybe a BNR)

For mild mods just get an SAFC...though if you're planning a turbo upgrade in the future you'd be wasting your money by not getting a standalone now.

+1^. if you are keeping the stock turbo, just get an safc. beyond that, ****, options are nearly limitless: Rtek (if you arent going too too far), haltech, wolf 3d, megasquirt, etc. check out the engine management section to get some ideas of what you are looking for in an ems and what you like.

How do I acquire an rtek? I have heard good stuff about them, but have not had any luck finding one.

My mods include:

-Full Racing Beat Exhaust
-S5 manifold and turbo
-S5 AFM and Apexi intake
-1000cc secondaries
-Block off plates
-Boost cut defender
-Fresh Atkins Rebuild with solid corner seals and upgraded Apex seals

What else should I do that would be the most bang-for-the-buck? My FD puts 413 to the wheels. I am not expecting to get that much out of this one, but 300 would be nice.
