Yo, everyone, there are a number of folks happy with turbos- the FF setup seems to be generally OK and my car is just fine.

To this day I will never understand why I can drive my turbo car with the eManage just fine and have been doing so for 3 years come this summer. Other than a ho-hum idle and the fact that I cannot tune VVT, the car runs great. Now I did have to make a number of changes that took time to figure out but in retrospect are really easy (like slotting the manifold and using proper fasteners on the turbo flange).

One thing to carefully consider - is your eManage one of the early units subject to recall? The early units had improper input impedance for the injector circuit and would never run right without resistors in parallel to simulate the injector impedance. Easy fix - just wire in 12 Ohm resistors to ground in parallel with the injector inputs to the eManage.
