Driveability: No issues.
Problems: None significant, but depending on how anal you are you lose the following capabilities with the EMS: VSA and cruise control.
Totally interested in the EMS? I may be selling mine.

Power: No difference as compared to the Hondata ECU reflash. Hondata optimally tuned my car when doing the reflash and there wasn't anything to "enhance" when the EMS was installed.

I guess I'll just have to wait for something else to come out... like maybe the K-Pro by Hondata. I'm not anal about the Cruise Control, but very anal about the VSA. Keeps me at a nice state of mind knowing that it's on and watching my every move.

How come you lose the VSA and the Cruise Control when it's only a piggy-back to the stock ECU?

Sorry...I cannot explain this better...
If Hondata comes out with a "F-Pro", there is no assurance that VSA and cruise control will still be operable. The problem may be "universal".

An AEM EMS is not a "piggy-back". It's a stand alone. It is my understanding that it replaces the stock ECU.

If the stock ECU is still hooked up, how come the VSA and CC no longer works? Can you not keep those connections intact? It's turning out that the '06 is a tuning nightmare.
Yes, the MY06 is a pain in the ass!
