need opinions on engine management

i'm planning on running 5-6psi of boost for a good period of time and i'm deciding if i should chip my ecu or go the FMU route. only reason the FMU route is a option for me is because I have no experience in programing the eeprom chips. what ya'll think?

I think you should read the Engine Management FAQ at the beginning of this forum, and decide for yourself what your route should be.

Re:need opinions on engine management

You can get everything you need to socket your ECU and burn chips with that much money. What engine, car, turbo setup, etc... are you planning on running?
