What is the best and cheap management system? I know about Greddy emanage, Hondata, and the Apexi VAFC.
I was trying to run the Greddy Emanage but it doesn't seem to be compatible with the 5th gen prelude? has anyone had problems with it? i know it's a piggy back system but when everything is connected, the car will not fire up.
I heard that the bad thing when using the APexi VAFC is that possible detonation could occur.
The hondata system would be expensive route for me to go since my car uses the OBDII ecu so i would have to buy a new ecu plus the wiring conversion.
Does anyone have any alternative solutions for a good management system?

It really depends on your level of expertise. Before I suggest anything, could I ask what your goals and expectations for this system are.

A VAFC is definitely out then. Honda computers do not recognize boost on their own. I recommend Hondata or its free Uberdata counterpart, if you guys can figure it out. The good thing about Hondata is that it has dealer support, but its the pricier of the two.

I agree...go with Uberdata.
If you are OBD2, you will need a conversion harness ($78), a chipped ECU ($120) and a way to tune it ($???)
Hondata alone starts at $500 and that doesnt include any of the above pieces you will need.
