It will never be as good as a standalone ECU.
However it can be used for your turbo setup. Infact the Greddy turbo kits in US come with the emanage.

It will be as good as the person who tunes it for your setup.

If you are strapped for cash, this is a good option. See if there is a harness available for your car so you don't need to splice into anything.

Basically it's an expensive piggyback, with a lot of functions.

For what it is it's a very good computer, but if you're planning alot of aftermarket mods, go a standalone, much much safer and allows for a lot.

As said above, it all depends on the tune, but if you plan on keeping your car the same as it is now, it will do just fine, as long as the tune is right. I don't know many emanage tuners around aus though.

sure cause thats retail. i just sold one brand for 400 shipped \w injector harness and software. and there are better deals to be had if u wait around.

edit: what im trying to say is, for the price of an AFC u get something thats bloody powerful in the scheme of things. Sure, its NOT a standalone and it will never compete against them for features/ability. But u should go for something that meets ur needs and goals! Plus being a piggyback u have no hassels passing sniffers (easily bypassed) and engineering.
