I wonder what Fed EX brought me?

Remember this thread (http://www.3sgto.org/showthread.php?890-Is-this-legit)?
The original box is still sealed, well was.

Like everyone here I was very skeptical about this, I sent him an E-bay message about the option of picking one up. Well after about half a dozen messages back and forth, we settled on a price and shipped it next day air for free.
I will reveal my price if asked, anyone else take the risk?

SO you paid 756 dollars shipped? 1 mil MNT is 756 USD the one converter told me

Ya i bought one from a guy on 3si, was "new" in box. Well it was just in a box, and to make a long story short after i sent it to AEM to diagnose the problem, the main board was fried, and it was also for a 2g DSM, not a 3000gt.
Good choice going with the AEM though, if its tuned right, you will not ever want a stock ECU car again. With the new software release for the series 2, they startup almost instantly like a stock ECU, as well as run a lot smoother.

How do you get the EMS to control boost? I am assuming you would need the AEM Tru-Boost controller. Also If I may ask what other AEM sensors are needed to make the most use of the V2 (the WO2 is a given)? I already plan on getting a Serial Datastream Gauge. I love the idea of being able monitor so much with one gauge.

I would recommend just getting a Hallman Pro MBC, and not running boost electronically. Otherwise there are several ways to control it with AEM if you do decide to, true boost is one of them i believe.
You will need an AEM IAT sensor, along with a AEM MAP sensor 3.5 or 5 bar depending on boost you plan to run.
Also like you said get the AEM wideband, and wire it into the ECU. If you are looking to get one soon, i am actually about to put up a sale on them. I will post a link when i do.

I was under the impression that the EMS could control boost, it would need an EBC connected to it to do so I am sure.

Yeah it can be done, but you are better off running an MBC

Why is a MBC better than a HKS EVC IV?

I will most likely be using the AEM boost Solenoid to control boost.

Is the series 1 that bad start up/driveability wise?

yes it is and thats the only thing I dont like about EMS and it takes like forever to start when the car is cold...
For that price I would have bought one too :)

It sure can control boost but it isnt very good at it thats what I have heard,

Then it needs some more adjustment. Series 1 is great, it takes a second for all the systems to cycle, them it fires right up. My car has started up first try for me everytime even in the colder weather recently, and i am on series 1. Driveability is also great, the car runs way smoother than it did stock, and makes a lot more power even out of boost.
That is the nice feature of series 2, is it fires up instantly just like a stock ecu, as long as it is tuned properly.

I have driven two cars with EMS series 1 and both of them it took more than 10 seconds to start and neither one of them run as smooth and nice as stock. they sure do make lot more power :)
other one was on bone stock engine 19T turbos and other one was a stroker.

Wow, I've got like $450 into my eManage setup! I've always kind of wanted an EMS but don't know if I could handle tuning it.

This.
My car takes just a hair longer than stock for it to start. It just takes a couple more rotations for the AEM S1 to get it's footing and figure out when it needs to step in and start the party. When I say that though it still usually fires roughly one (yes 1) second after you key it. That's on E85 too. It's noticably longer than stock but just barely.
Any AEM S1 car that takes 10+ seconds to start needs a new tuner.
The S2 gets it's footing even faster and it's supposed to be unnoticable on startup.
And any AEM is going to drive leaps and bounds better than any piggyback car with equal (good) tuners. My drivability is awesome now...way better than it was with the Emanage Ultimate, MAP ECU, or ARC-2.

^^phew..now I have no worries about my series 1. Thanks guys.
you're telling me that you bought a $1600 AEM EMS for ~$800?
:suspect:

We run series 2 in Shawna's (4G63GIRL) Evo, at first it was the same as series one, but now with the latest software patch from AEM, it truly is instant start-up like a stock ecu.
mb7050 - Im not sure where you live, but if there is ever a chance i will have to take you for a ride. AEM is amazing when it is properly tuned.
