Lol An fmu will work for smaller turbo applications, and if you keep it under the 5-6psi range. Tunability suffers though, and for the cost of getting your ecu chipped and tuned, you're better off with that in the long run.

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

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!

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.

please take the advice from the OGs here and dont ---- wit da fmu. i ignored the advice these guys gave me(sorry i had my head up my ass...) and ran/currently running my vortec 12:1 @ 5psi. first of all, an untuned ANY psi gets boring FAST. second, it runs fag filthy rich no matter what, like 1/8th tank for a 1st thru 4th WOT run(for real). it stinks like fuel at all times. it backfires loud all the time. under 3000rpm? forget about it barely fucken runs. also i burst an old fuel line on first nite, that shits like $6 a foot. gay. not worth it. i though i couldnt wait, and that i was being misinformed by these cats, like they were haters or somethin. WRONG. WRONG. i got a walbro 255 and precision 440s for like 275 shipped. getting it tuned w/ crome pro on friday. the fmu and fuel line cost like 150 and only supports a shitty running 5psi. for 125 more, you can run like 10psi or more and itll actually run good. its a no brainer. plz learn from my ------- mistakes, and takes thes guys advice--its well worth it.
