Default Which ECU for Future Turbo Build?

Hey Everyone,
Just was wondering if some people could put some input on which ECU I should choose. I am planning on doing a turbo build in the near future but would like to get a ECU before hand.

I've noticed great improvements in ECUs the 2.5 years I've owned my car (and started paying attention to these things). I'd wait until I needed an ECU before buying one. Who knows what will be available in 6 months or a year?

Luckily as S2000 owners, we have lots of options for ECUs. We offer the Hondata KPRO, AEM Series 2, and AEM Infinity. For advanced turbocharger setups, we recommend the AEM Infinity. This ECU has a number of advanced features for boost control, FlexFuel, and what we find very important for track use - fuel pressure feedback (this can increase injector duty if fuel pressure begins to fall from fuel pickup starvation, failing fuel pump, etc). Built-in traction control is also a benefit - which with the pulse converter we've developed, is possible on the S2000. Check out the system we offer, which mounts to the factory ECU mounting location and offers the most compact easy installation for the AEM Infinity:

Does the state/province you live in require an OBD2 inspection?
