2 quick questions
 
yo, i have a d15b7 about to be turbo'd, question 1 is, i have a .42 t3 w/ a internal 7 psi wastegate, a few of my friends said that if im only going to push 7 psi then all i need is a 12:1 fmu, is that true?? one last question, on my t3, how do i mount an air filter on it, the front of it or whatnot where its suppose to go dont poke out or anything :/ any help will be appreciated :D

dont run a FMU, atleast get bigger injectors and AFC, or just AFC and uberdata to do it right, u mount the air intake fitler on the compressor side , where the blades are, a tube comes up fromt here and u mount it on the charge pipe, or just make a screen for it instead of a air filter

You could probably get away with the FMU but if you want to prolong the life of your engine and fuel delivery system, you'll do your engine a favor and atleast get a SAFC w/ 450cc injectors or uberdata w/ 450cc injectors.

Uberdata would be the best choice.

you can use the FMU at 7psi.

on my t3 turbo though, rather than having a piece sticking out like | } to put a air filter on and whatnot, mine is completely flat in front of the blades :o

you'll need the factory flange for that..........what's this T3 off of?

Just buy a bolt on flange and weld an inlet tubre to it.

I'd just go grab a piece of 3/8" steel, make a bolt pattern, drill some holes and weld an intake pipe on it.

fmu will work fine, and for a intake make a ghetto one its not a very important part.

becuase some people are not ready to start tuning standalones. FMU's are a good starting point for low boost.
