Default A few questions

Some of you may have seen my "I'm New" post. Anyways, quick rundown, I bought a stock '93 SC300, 5 speed, pearl white, tan leather, 85k miles last week. I have purchased the following mods...

6x 72lb Injectors
2x Walbro 255 Fuel Pumps with Install kits and all fuel lines, etc
Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator with 1:1 boost reference
Fittings to mod fuel rail for larger injectors
HKS HeadGasket
ARP Head Studs
ClutchNet Clutch-Single disc, double diaphram pressure plate & 6 puck metallic disc w/sprung hub
Blue GReddy Profec B Boost Controller
GReddy white EGT guage w/ memory & warning light
SP63 w/ .81 jet hotted housing, compressor housing is polished
SP jet hotted header
HKS gt wastegate
Greddy 3 row intercooler
Custom intercooler piping, all silver powder coated
Blitz BOV w/ flange welded on intercooler piping
3" ceramic coated down pipe

First question ... I already have an S-AFC and an MSD BTM that I was going to use to tune fuel and timing, rather than buy a standalone. However, now I am told that with the S-AFC and MSD BTM, I would need a VPC. I am also told I can get the AEM computer and not use the VPC, S-AFC or BTM altogether. If this is the case, how much can I get an AEM for, and where at ? I would sell the BTM and S-AFC and just get the AEM, since this seems easier than using the S-AFC, BTM, and VPC.

What can you tell me about teh AEM unit ? Is it a standalone or piggyback ? Most importantly, I am looking for price and where to get it and if it is what I need to get the job done.

Now, some general questions..

1) One of my headlamp housings is really faded compared to the other one. Anyone encounter this & is there a way to fix it ? Someone told me I could use a buffer on it ?

2) The dislay for the climate control has black haze in it. Sometimes it spreads all throughout, sometimes it is not there at all ... is this common ? Solutions ?

3) The power mirros and the seat memory thing doesn't work. I haven't checked the fuses, but is there a chance that they are the same fuse ?

Other than that, the car is perfect! The turbo project begins Oct 19, so any help would be great!

Thanks
