thanks

Re:budget turbo

5-6 psi without an intercooler is pushing it. MAYBE if 93 octane is available where you live. If 91 is the best I wouldn't go above 4 psi without an IC. If anything get a SMIC.

Whatever though, it's your motor.

Re:budget turbo

Uberdata costs $20, it is cheaper and way better than an FMU, why go any other way?

I would do this but.. I am fairly clueless about that management. I downloaded the program a while ago and my friend has an eprom burner but i dont feel comfortable trying to write my own tuning specs. Also can i run the d16z6 injectors with it? seems easier to use an fmu till i get my feet wet with turbo knowledge then try and do something cool.
