I don't think that you can even get ITB's streetable with a piggyback. You'll want to run Alpha-N with MAP feedback. The EMS wont even bat an eye at this.

AEM EMS with built-in wideband O2 is going for $1300 right now. That's probably less than your ITB setup is costing you.

If you'd like i can copy and paste everything that was said? or post a link....

thanks for the advice suspendedhatch, this was the answer I was looking for, I'll be saving up a lil extra an prob get the AEM.

An no my itb setup did not cost that much, it's homemade setup
