Vortech FMU..

Re: Vortech FMU..
you talking honda? if you're doing the reading, you know that most of everyone on here is anti-fmu because they're unreliable, unpredictable, and not tune friendly. it's seriously not that hard or much to find a socketed ecu on here, and xenocron can hook you up with a reliable basemap for next to nothing. fmu was the answer back when options were limited and expensive as ----. there are so many other options now. on the other hand, there are a few guys out there that have run fmu's for miles and miles without a problem. if you've already got it in your head that you're gonna use the fmu no matter what, just expect to be thrashed if in a short time you're posting a "my ---- blew up. why?" thread.

Re: Vortech FMU..
these guys convinced me to get a chipped ECU and ditch my ganster *** E Manage and AFC Hack i was considering. DO it.
When you get the chipped ECU and base maps (cheap on xenocrons website) its not much more to get a mild tune to check your A/f and ignition to make sure your good to go.
(Did i do/say that right guys? lol)

I'd say go for it but keep the boost at or below 5 pounds which was hard trust me...
