98 Supra, need suggestions

Just joined came from the supraforums and heard i can get more help here.

OKiee i have a 98 supra vvti automatic

Going turbo soon and will probably get the xs turbo kit or ebay kit...

But my question to u guys is what ems to use? how is the AEM serris 1 and 2 and halltech? what are the pros and cons? and my goals are 800-1000 hp but i just want to boost for now thats why the cheap turbo kit.

which comes to my other question should i stick with the NA motor or swap to a JDM TT motor? either way im going to switch out the internals for my power goals and also cause im going with a high compression turbo motor..

Simply put, Can u guys tell me what i need to just start boosting...Thanks and sorry for anything i might i have done wrong like posting or grammar and spelling

If you are looking for 800 hp the word Ebay should not be in your vocabulary
People here have had good experiences with both AEM and Haltech. Which features are you looking for in the EMS?
