E6x flying lead would do fine, the "ECM only" means it does not come with a lead harness off the ECU to the engine, basically the lead kit just needs the stock connectors soldered on and that's it, the connector kit would replace the old and worn out connectors on the engine side if i read the site correctly.
save yourself some money and don't buy 2 standalones, just the flying lead version.

and this would provide me with enough tunability for a high compression engine ... from what i understand tuning is critical with higher compression

I don't mean to sound like a jackass (especially considering you are local to me 
) but if you have to ask, I'd reconsider this project.
Turbocharging an NA requires some decent knowledge (I assume you've read the documentation?), and wiring a standalone is not a very good first or 2nd project. Fundamentally the wiring is not hard, but I have seen so many disasters created by people without knowledge of wiring on standalones that I know what to expect from the inexperienced....
Also, the tuning is an important step as well that is not to be overlooked. A high compression turbo engine with a Haltech is a VERY poor (and probably expensive!) way to learn tuning. Start with an NA, an S-AFC and a wideband before you move to a real standalone.
Just my 2 cents from experience.

Stand alone engine.
Not to hi jack a post, but I have an engine mounted in a test stand hoping to get it running. Removed the entyre wiring harness and all modules, 70 pounds worth from the 86 it was mounted running in. I ran the engine with the harness on the ground beside the car.
Now the big question. I want to get rid of what I do not need. I am an electrician so I know how to read a print. But... I can see that there is alot of wire and modules and something will be interconected that will inhibit the engine from running.
Have started removing the suspension module and brake lights and such, but there still is a lot of wire.
Any Comments?
