Default Fuel management choice for turbo d16vtec

Hi everyone, Im knew to the site. Neways!! Lets get to it. I'm dropping a built d16y8 into my 97 ex in two weeks. Along with the motor I am strapping on a rev hard turbo kit. I am planning on pushing in between 6-9 psi for daily driving. Okay so I already have a vtec afc version II installed but is this giong to be sufficient? I am looking at upgrading to a greddy E-manage with all the goodies. Is there anyone with a turbo setup using an apexi vafc?? Also will the E-manage allow me to fully tune it so I'm running at optimum settings, ie. fuel to air, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

i know a bunch of people that use the V-AFC to manage their fuel system for their turbo setup and most of them are driving Y8's so you should be fine but greddy would be an upgrade( a very expensive one)

thanks, I already own a vafc, just wondering about how people go about tuning it with a turbo. And what I mean is how do you know how much fuel to add. Anyway I ordered a greddy emanage and a wideband a/f to replace the vafc. Should be able to fine tune it with that setup! [8D]Thanks everyone!

the only way you can tune your car and be confident about the tuning is to get it dynoed and tuned. The V-afc is only half of the set up u need if u tune with that, you have to have a boost controller too.
