I'm New to turbos help me out.

haha...$1000 for an engine computer.

The FMU & pump will be ok if you are staying below 5 psi. But thats really no fun.

You want TurboEdit.

www.turboedit.org

Chipped ECU & RPM activated switch (for VTEC) will run you $200 if you dont do it yourself. If you can find a PS9 ECU here in the classifieds, even better. (No VTEC switch needed)

Then you need to learn how to tune or find someone in your area willing to help you tune it in.

Read the FAQ here and search for TurboEdit. There are a lot of threads about it including a multi-page thread stickied to the top of this section.

If you need a TurboEdit ECU, chipped and ready to go. Send me a PM when you are ready. But I urge you to do some work...and get ready to learn lots.

if you do go with the fmu just make sure you put a missing link or some check valves on the map sensor, but you should consider turbo edit, i was going to use an fmu as well on that exact smae set up but realized it would run like ----, and im still trying to learn about turbo edit, but i have faith, i'll figure it out... you can too
