Why?

Did't that guy that added a turbo to his 12v V6 run that?

I am running electromotive's Tec-II. In my opinion it is a much better system.

Any comment on haltech computer (E6K)?

Rob K

First, what car do you plan on using it on, and what type of modifications have been done to it? The haltech was one of my choices when I was chosing a standalone ECU. The E6K seems fairly good for the price, but it does lack a few important features. No knock sensor, so add a few hundred $ to the initial purchase price for a J&S knock sensor. It does not come with its own ignition coils, so you have to use stock or upgrade the stock. This is another 300$. Also their software looks difficult to use. To create a fuel map you have to determine injector pulse widths for hundreds of combinations of RPM and MAP combinations. I chose the TEC, because once you factor in all the additional purchase for the E6K, the price is about the same. But the TEC-II comes with excellent CDI ignition coils. Knock sensor, boost control, crank sensor accurate to .5degrees, and it is easy to program. All it takes is 2 numbers to determine a raw fuel curve that will make the car driveable. I am still waiting for FJO (http://fjoinc.com/automotive) to have a final product, they are coming out with a very powerful standalone that costs around the same as the TEC-II. I intend to use it on my other project car (91 MR2 turbo). Finally, to maximize power either one is better than chipping
