i just got some DSM injectors. i dont have an FMU and not planning on getting one. I think im going to just chip the ecu. But for now is it safe to run it with the adjustable pressure regulator? Im only going to run it like that for a month till i can get it chiped

no you can not run boost with jus a 1:1 adjustable fuel pressure regulator. the fmu will atleast raise fuel pressure hoping to give a lil more fuel when in boost. then adjustable fpr does nothing for you when in boost... ur better off with an fmu then nothing at all. why not jus wait a month for the ecu?

Well, Im kinda lost now. I just got my FMU in yesterday and i know it sucks! ive heard it over and over again. I have had multiple ppl tell me that my car(D16Y8, 14b) will run(like ----) when i have the FMU.
I just wanna know if my car will run on 5-6-7 psi for about 4 months without blowing up?

I figured it was ok because:

It should be fine on 5psi for a few months...but it also depends on a lot of other factors. Like what kind of shape the motor is in, how well its been taken care of...how much do you beat on it and take it to redline. You know...
