just use a MBC, if your asking how to set this up and you cant figure it out from the instructions aem gives you, your about 1000 times more likely to blow it up than if you just use a mbc.
anything to gain from using the AEM? no.

i doesnt look that hard to hook up its more how to control it with the aem sotware, and i want to make sure im hooking it up right, gonna be boosting at 11psi maybe 14 on a stock ct26 rebuilt just wondering how to control it properly with the aem software. i am a bit new to this so i considere it a learning experience,

anyways i heard a boost solenoid is a lot more safe then a MBC dont want to risk it. gonna get the car tuned anyways on dyno next week just want to hook up the boost solenoid before

yea I was talking about tuning the boost control software not the installation.
and yes we all know everything on the internet is true, so AEM ebc beats MBC anytime.

Wiring up is not that difficult. You need a powersource and one wire from the EMS.

If you have an internal wastegate you probably need a restrictor. I got mine at the Subaru dealer.
Get some different sizes. start with 0.8 and then go up. 1.0 worked best for me.

Your tuner will be able to make it work in the AEM, just hook it up.

My Autronic also uses the same boostcontroll and I love it. With this you can set wanted boost pressure at rpm, and in each gear.
