I'm a fellow tuner and I know exactly where you're coming from. As far as hooking up the AEM EMS is concerned, I did a 2 second search on google and came up with this quote.

"...software maps that you can upload to your AEM EMS via a computer serial connection!"

This specific EMS was on an evo application but I don't see why it would be different for you. Currently in my WRX I have a TurboXS User Tunable Engine Computer or UTEC, which is like the EMS but has some other wrx-specific features. It also uses a serial cable connection to interface with a pc. I plan on hooking it up to my carputer once it's all done much like you are doing with your EMS. You and I share the same idea of essentially using the car to tune itself. You should look at the EMS unit to make absolutely certain that yours has a serial port, just to be safe. It may require additional software also but my UTEC only requires that you have hyperterminal on your OS (I believe it's standard on all windows applications) and I'm willing to bet it's the same or similar with your EMS. Most if not all EPIA motherboards and other current motherboards for that matter I believe have a serial port built into them. You're welcome, haha. Just kidding, welcome to the boards, I myself, am also new here. Pretty cool stuff, just wish there was more traffic so things would be kept more current.
