Default FMU ?

Hey I'm new to the whole boost thing and i was wondering if you have to get a FMU. I already have an adjustable fuel pressure regulartor on my car. I dont plan on boosting over 6 psi for now. I did every thing so far my self and its all ready to be put on i just need to know about the FMU

okay he didn't explain it to well. u do not need an fmu if u change ur injectors/chip ur ecu. all new people start off with fmu's n they come back with stories on "why did my motor blow i was only boosting 6psi" n blah blah blah. research a lil more n try to choose another route but if u must. fmu is needed with no other management.

id think it'd be just as expensive to chip your ecu as to buy a fmu if you use uberdata or something nowadays

why the hell do you need $550 what the hell haha. chip ur ecu man.. fine tune with real management. you'll be usin the fmu for 6 months if ur motor last that long lol. if u have no money to finish then don't turbo it yet...

you could, but I'd reccomend just getting your ecu chipped and get some injectors of here. its the safe way to go.
