Talk to your tuner about the new Tephra mods for the stock ECU and ECU controlled boost with the AEM boost solenoid. Here is what I did with my kit.

AEM kit comes with 125cc 300cc 550cc meth jets (400.00)
Buy the failsafe from SnowPerformane (60.00)
Buy an M15 (1500cc meth jet) good for 425-475hp (15.00)

400hp switch from M05 to M10 Meth Jet with dyno This is my post about me switching to the M10 jet and I just recently switched to the M15 jet and pick up more hp because I could run more timing in higher RPMs. I just didn't make a post about the M15 jet.
I agree with everyone want to save $$$$. Only if the systems are comparable. The AEM is a PPS (progressive) system. The HFS-1 is a single stage (on/off) system and the HFS-6 is PWM valve system. Both comes with a 52mm dash gauge, display in real time, 3 failsafe output options - even in the event of a power supply failure. There are a few failsafe systems (no gauge) out there, sending out a active voltage upon activation. What "if" there is a power supply failure?

So the saving $$$$ comparison is not exactly accurate.

By the time you add a dash gauge system on those alternative systems, it will probably cost the same. In the event of a system incompatiblity issues who do you contact first?
