So... It's okay to use as l ong as it's kept below 6psi...?

Re: fmu questions
ya get a dam fmu and accord 290cc injectors at juck yard noob but watch out if they have a rissitor box wiht them in teh car you take them out of then youll need to add one to your car so you dont fry you ecu and then put on your fmu and boost should not go lean on you probly be good to 10 psi just retart your timing bout 6 degress off base and boost it will be shitty on gas but youll be able to use your gay fmu
or just get some normal 450cc or waht ever injectors and get you ecu chiped and tuned by a tunner nube!

Re: fmu questions
5-6 lbs? wtf is the point. seems like a lot of money and time wasted. Chip your ECU and don't be retarded. Because wtf are you gonna do in the future if you get bored with 6lbs (i kno, you probably never think it'll happen). Upgrade your injectors, chip your ecu... then when that time comes to up the boost because you still can't beat that kid down the street with the sweet stock SN95 Mustang, its only going to cost the time for a street tune and not the price of a new motor because you just *had* to have more boost on an FMU. I guess what I'm trying to say is, chip the ecu, you'll be thankful you did later for so many reasons. Hell, read enough in the Engine management section and you can probably figure out how to tune it yourself (I know I did, 16lbs). I'd only advise using an FMU on something that engine management is rare w/o going standalone. but hell even then megasquirt supports pretty much everything, and its fairly priced.
