Which EMS to get HELP

Alright 1st off I tried a search and came up blank just found questions on ems nothing helpful to me.

I have a GTU that was converted to a TII, the mods list goes fully built transmission, Ti Gearings, Lighting fly wheel, ACT stage 2 clutch
Engine, street port, so far it has all the pullies changed to after market light weight ones, msd wires, Intake, Turbo back exhaust Apexi N1 dual exhaust, and greddy type R BOV

I plan on adding a FMIC and a slightly bigger turbo I just want my car to be at or around 280~320hp

heres the question what EMS shoud I go for, so far I have heard about Microtech from the guy rebuilding my engine, I also heard that Haltech is great but expensive, I also heard about HKS F Con i think. Which would be a good ems for me to get to help keep my rotary streetable and sortof a daily driver with out destroying my motor? any input is greatly appreciated

TIA
Tony

Honestly, they are all good. A lot of it comes down to what the people around you (especially the tuner you will eventually use) is comfortable with. For outright value, get the Megasquirt. Both the microtech and haltech have a large support base and seem to be a popular choice.

Ive heard alot of good things and bad things about both the haltek and mircotec. After waying the options from what my tuner had to say i think that I will be going the mircotec route.

Get the one that you can get the best support (locally).

I dunno why you would call Haltech expensive, unless a couple hundred dollars US$ is too much for you?
Try pricing out a MoTeC...

thanks guys I have always thought Haltech were 1200+ and if thats not expensive then call me broke. But I might go the Microtech route because the guy who built my engine says he has one and there is a tuner in my area. thats the other thing where is a good place to get my car tuned? I have heard that Brouning Motorsport in VA near Colonial Beach can tune cars did anyone with a RX7 ever go there?
