Ehh, I wouldn't wanna boost a car that uses oil. If it's just a leak get it fixed and rape it, other then that, just wait. Better yet, get a HX35 with an open waste gate and then rape. Waiting for ripper vids :6

go with an ecu and 450's you can reuse them on your next setup ;D save yourself some cash later instead of buyint ath fmu now... selling it buying the ecu and 450's then all that you have to do is swap out your chip..

fmu's run from 80-200 bucks


so in reality when you get all your ecu stuff/injectors etc you spend a little more but I mean whats a couple bucks for doing it right

and its a lot nice because you can actually tune it, and you wont be overloading your injectors with a shitty spray pattern and running a bad air fuel mixture

Well a friend of mine has a good deal for me. Its a Vortech FMU 12:1 and a missing link and a boost controller for $80
Would I really need a 255lph fuel pump for this setup?

Cliff Notes:
5psi
FMU
missing link <---- do I even need this ----?
stock injectors
stock fuel pump <--- or NO?

fmu's require upgraded pumps if not they dont do anything. Mucho pressure needs macho pump.

you'll need the missing link if you don't want the check engine light coming on.

Screw the LS. I think you should just do a vitara/TT rod setup with some head studs and a new head gasket. Then you'll be good to go.

Yeah I've got the missing link. I picked it and a Vortech FMU and a MBC up from buddy for $80
So I think I'll just boost this motor for about 5-6psi until I can build another Z6 motor.
