Which Engine Mgmt?

Decided to get some engine mgmt. done to my car and confused between two Engine Mgmt. componets. Car has downpipe, legal high flo cat and I was recommended to get some more fuel going to the engine because with my current mods I can over boost and then BOOM =\. Which engine mgmt. should I go for the Apexi Power FC or the AEM Unit? I am not going to add any more mods to the car so which route should I go? I am leaning towards the Apexi PFC, but where can I take my car to have it bought & installed and tuned for a decent price? I have around 2g's to play with so where should I go in So Cal?

You only need to upgrade your fuel/engine mgmt when you want to increase the boost. If your boost is still at stock levels and you are happy with the car, there is no need to upgrade.

But if, as you suggested, your boost does start to creep, get a boost controller (either manual or electronic) instead of an ECU. It'd be a waste of money if you're staying at 10 psi to get the ECU.

If you don't plan to do anything else your stock ECU will be fine, so long is your boost control is good at maintaing 10 psi.
