safc is ment for low boost / small turbo applications, anything more is asking for trouble realy, step up to at least the e-manage ---

imho turbo on any car that DOESN"T come turbo stock needs a full standalone unit, not just a piggy back like an afc. you’ll thank yourself later by spending a lil extra money now ---

motec is a lil overkill… megasquirt is very DIY especially for some1 who is posting this AEM is the way to go if they make one for your car ---

Megasquirt will work but another good solution is a secondary set of injectors (1 or 2) and a controller. They would work pretty good but youll need somthing to control your ignition timing also. ---

might want to invest in a new feul pump as well. people hve had luck with emanage. there is no plug and play stand alone that i know of. a company was supposed to be releasing a software package that would allow you to control your factory ecu, but stuff like that never seems to materialize. people have also had luck with haltec standalones… ---

[http://www.hptuners.com/](http://www.hptuners.com/) the ones that are supposedly working on the j-body ecu. it might not even be for the 95-99 ? its been like the supercharger… promised forever, but has taken years to make any progress.

if your strapped for cash and dont want to pay to have an AEM custom sired in(if they dont make a harness for your car) then i would go with the e-manage ultimate. greddy’s original e-manage had alot of problems to the ultimate is their comeback and they put alot of attention to details in it and its supposed to be a much better unit. i think you can get one on ebay for about $500 IIRC ---

Do the research on a good stand alone, fuel pressure regulator, injectors and fuel pump. Get a copy of the compressor map for your turbo and figure out the optimum flow rate for your engine and go from there. Just my $0.02. ---
