Does anyone know where i can get performance valves and springs for the 5sfe? And Who makes a good standalone ems, i have been looking at the AEM ems but it doesn't look like they have a computer to fit my needs. And the universal one is to hella expensive.

I'm going to buy the AEM EMS soon. I keep buying other shit and ready my car for paint and its holding me back a lot. I heard the Greddy E-manage has similarities towards the AEM EMS, but its not full standalone, and I heard this from someone who hasn't used/seen the AEM EMS. I'll be buying it for sure in 3 weeks, no more hold ups dammit

So which model will work for the camry, i didn't see any specifically for it. I was looking at the e-manage but like you said i want full standalone so i won't regret not getting the best later. Plus i want full control over turbo/nitrous maps as well.

Really, I haven't looked really deep into it yet. What I was going to do was talk to a rep over the phone about the system as well as who I can bring it to to install it etc etc. AEMpower.com has a number listed strictly for the EMS I think.
Now here's a tip, DON'T buy from the AEM site and here's why:

See the difference

Now one of the people that is helping build my turbo knows quite a lot about the EMS and tuning, so I have help there.
I also have to agree with you, I want full management of my maps, switch maps on the fly, have a rev limit to take off at, switch from an all out racing turbo map to stock, everything! But I never looked into the Greddy E-Manage so I'm not sure what that has in comparison to this EMS.

Edit: Also I think you'll need a custom harness made wherever you get it installed at

E-Manage is a piggyback, so you still use the stock ECU.

Whereas the AEM unit is a standalone.

Thats if the harness with the AEM won't plug into your sensors, injectors, etc...
