Trying to figure out what ECU to use

I been reading around a little bit on different ECU's. I know most of the people here use the PFC, but I don't want to loose my A/C. I was wondering if the AEM EMS does this too? I know the rest of the ECU's out there like Microtech you have a lot of wiring to do.

Who would be tuning it?

The wiring thing can suck, but you will find many of the more advanced ECUs will require this. I ask your tuner what they like and go with that. All the ECUs have pro's and con's. The AEM unit seems to be fairly rare in FDs so far but it can't be that bad because Supra guys are raving about it.

the AEM does have an autotune feature and programmable traction control. On paper probably the best plug and play unit out there.

I would NEVER rely an autotune feature. Especially on a rotary.
