I used the aem standalone ecu in my 600 whp srt-4. It was the best ecu i ever owned. I liked having a built in 2 step and several different tunes(race,street and meth) at a push of a laptop button. My tuner jay from n2mb moved to florida. If you need any info or have never used the aem let me know, I will call jay and get the answers for you or just give u his number.
PS I sent that t78 back for the 4inch v band.

I'm assuming you bought this directly from AEM? I have been trying to get on there site, but have had no luck yet. I got on the forums and can't really find any info on it. I seen the pcm they offer, but was looking for more info on what your talking about here. Any help would be appreciated.

probly the same answers your waiting to answer yourself by installing it. I would just like to see what it looks like mainly. A part number so I can check with my vendors on getting it. Assuming it uses their software for tuning? I already have hp tuners so I'm kinda on the fence. I have a 99 up setup so I'm just trying to decide if its something I wanna get involved with. How about injectors? Will it control high/low like the others do? Or just the basic high? This is just stuff off the top of my head right now, and I'm sure I'll have more questions later.

Awesome thread that answers much for my install.
How is the collector piping for the turbo inlet flange (the pipes that come off the manifolds) braced? That has to be a good bit of weight hanging there. I'll run a smaller mm turbo, but it'll be a Borg Warner, so the weight will be about the same.
My engine (lm7) will be dropped in a Volvo 245 station wagon, so I won't have some of the fitment issues you've had.

From what I saw in the pictures you did not add any bracing, which is good to me because it was going to be a PITA coming up with a way to brace off the block.
Some people will add bracing under the collector for heavy turbos. The other side of the brace could be mounted to the block, or even the chassis with the aid of flexpipes.
If not bracing works for you, it works for me. Nice build!

Here's a not-related example; a collector on a manifold from my supra:
The collector's support now is assisted by the flange on the cylinder head instead of all the weight being held by the manifold runners.
On a SBC single setup, the bracing would obviously have to be off the block or chassis. I was thinking a bracket that one of the deleted accessories could be an anchor point.

Yeah, for a heavy T6 turbo or even if I was using tube headers, I would have braced to the frame. With the iron manifolds, 2 2.5" pipes and the 4" DP, I figured it'd be good. It hasn't budged in the almost 2 yrs that it's been together. The one thing that I would do differently now is to move the IC further forward another 2-3" in order to move the radiator further up and get a couple of puller fans in there.

I've read through 14 pages but i'm too tired to finish, lol.
What did you end up doing on the fuel system? I ended up going with an a1000 last year, -10an to a y block before the rails, one -8an to each fuel rail, and back out with two more -6an to the aero regulator and it seems very efficient, but i'm only running a n/a combo right now. i say this bc on page 14? was a fuel system diagram I was looking at

I'm running a sumped aluminum tank, 160# Bosch low impedance injectors with Magnafuel pump and Aeromotive regulator. -10 up to the firewall and then it goes to a -8 into the rail. The regulator is -6 return but I stepped it up to a -8 about 3 inches away from -6 fitting.
