Default Questions from new AEM EMS user

OK, so I bought this VR4 and it has AEM EMS and all the supporting engine mods to make it worthwhile. Since everything is in place, I have but no choice than to learn the system and how it works. The car has an AEM UEGO wideband o2 sensor, EGT sensor, AEM 3.5 bar map sensor and I'm not sure of the IAT sensor, what does it look like and where would it be located? I have A FMIC with one large hard pipe to the throttle body w/ a TiAL BOV on it and there is one sensor in a bung about 9" ahead of the TB.
  • First, what is the best recommended reading to get up to speed, or at least headed in the right direction?
  • Is it possible for an AEM EMS newbie to do a decent tune without detrimental results? (keeping in mind that a balls to the wall tune is NOT the objective)
  • What is a good laptop to recommend for a dedicated tuner PC? ie speed, memory, etc
  • Would it be better to take it to a place like IPS for a full tune rather than try myself and then just learn and maintain what IPS installs?
  • Thanks to the learned for the guidance and help

**NOTE: The car currently has a tune that as far as I know is a base level tune. It has not been run at over 7 psi of boost since the engine rebuild, I was peretty much told to leave the boost controller turned down where it is untill tuned differently. (Boost controller is GReddy Profec B-Spec II)
