We used to
bust out 5-600whp supras all on safc or emanages. Don't get me wrong stand alones are awesome but more so for mitsu since you guys have MAF's and need to recirculate your bov's and a stand alone would let you ditch that for a MAP sensor which JZ's already run on.
so unless you want to run legit fuel cut defense instead of eliminating it, or building a race car where youre messing with timing, ignition, and fuel maps (not for street cars) i dont see a reason to invest in a stand alone THEN sensors and wire it all up.
AEM is pretty good but they use the factory sensors which kind of defeats the purpose in my book. so all in all, I have a built big turbo 1jz that runs on emanage and let the ecu take care of timing while i mess with safer areas and i make some pretty great numbers. 120whp from a 300 dollar box is unbeatable.

I prefer to have full control over everything.
Well actually I tell every evo/dsm/turbo mitsu to stay oem ecu for the most part. The oem ecu has been so far developed there are features that the average standalone does not have. My only complaint is the launch control is a fuel cut over and ignition cut. There are patches that allow the use of up to a 5 bar map sensor on the stock ecu many just use the evo x's stock 3.5 bar map. Plus just going into the rom I can change sensor values to run other sensors such as a different ebc, tps, maf, injectors, map, ect.
Ehh depends on the quality and accuracy of the OEM sensors.
Talking in bolt on evo terms, with my $200 tactrix setup I can squeeze safely 60-70whp out of them.
I see where you are coming from, I just dont like them for MAF cars because the ECU just freaks the fuck out when that signal is altered from the SAFC or E-manage.
