For Australia has to Haltech seems to be common for most tuners to be familiar with ;)

I would recommend an e-manage. I've read people saying they are better

It comes down to what you want it to do and what mods you have on the car.

Should just ask the place you are planning to get the tune done what they are familiar with

Haltech is definitely the simplest option, only a few wires to splice in and yes much simpler to 'tune'. So it goes without saying that there is more dyno tuner support for it :lol:

eManage Ultimate can do a lot more, but is a lot more complicated and yes not many people around who know how to install or tune them, but then again there's not many people around who know how to tune period :lol:

If you want simple and low cost stick with the Haltech. If you're up for a challenge and can learn how to do a lot of it yourself go the eManage Ultimate.

Or better yet Jonowong is selling an emanage blue WITH both harnesses for 350 - bargain price so theres your answer, and im sure someone within your city will be familiar with them, not like they are some back alley brand no one has heard of

RPW support the emanage blue, although they're a bit far away from you.

I quite like the emb, find it simple to get a basic tune myself for fuelling and then let the tuner fine tune the fuelling and ignition timing, I used to run a couple of degrees advance at certain points and that was with boost, I didn't touch the timing myself though left that to the experts.
But i've heard good things about the Haltech and there does seem to be a lot of support here for it and people getting good results too.
