Default Aftermarket Engine management compatability.

On my Puma I am looking to upgrade the engine management system And have been thinking of omex 600 series or pectel T2.

The question I have is that in a year or so I plan to swap the engine to zetec turbo or maybe even cossie power (not yet decided!!) so is there an engine management system that i can fit that will be compatable with forced induction and an engine swap??

I'm thinking by fitting the upgraded management I can solve any potential wiring nightmares later when I engine swap and effectively just reprogram new ECU for the new engine.

I realise I may need to get an overspecced ECU and loom to save upgrading later (including longer wires in loom for the planned new engine).

The ultimate simplistic aim is to have an aftermarket dash and ECU controlling the engine and all dials, completely electrically seperate from the auxilliary loom (lights wipers etc althougth ignition live auxilliary circuits will need a feed to make the relays). My thinking being that it has to be a better solution than trying to combine a newer ford loom to an older ford loom and with the obvious problems that may cause..
