Ok so i'm probably going to be getting a 1987 Civic Si Turbo, and it needs some sort of fuel/engine management.

What would you guys recommend?

I'm thinking of probably just going with the SAFC II. Cheaper and seems to do very well.

Also it will be getting some 450 injectors when/if i get it.

Or get a rising rate fuel pressure regulator, stock pressure under vacuum/no boost conditions, then fuel pressure raises with boost. Some people seem to have decent luck with those.

Let me be the 1st to stay the fuck away from that. I see STDs literally crawling on that.

If you are going to use a SAFC then you will need a good wideband air fuel gauge so that you can "tune" it and keep it tuned as close to the A/F levels you want/need. The reason why this is a MUST with a piggyback (especially SAFC/VAFC) is because your "tune" WILL change from day to day with temp changes, humidity, elevation etc. This is the only way to do this setup as close to "right" as possible.
