Default Do i really need a FMU or FPR?

Do i really need a FMU or FPR? Is it safe to run without one for awhile, planning on runnning 6-7 psi on stock B18B1. I was a lil short on money so i didnt buy one of them.

i ran with no fuel management for a week or two. what you do is retard your timing at the dizzy all the way, run 93 oct. gas, and get an extra coolant temp sensor to hang in your engine bay tricking the car in to thinking it's running cold, therefore making it run rich. i wouldn't try this if you're not running an intercooler. don't boost over 5 psi like this either, but it does work.

I did the exact same thing since I had to have a way to drive my car until I could get my ECU chipped. I didn't want to do it, but Jeff forced me to do it!!! :P

I ripped on it a few times.

that was b/c i didn't have a wg either, if i ripped on it too hard, i would boost 30+ psi, that wouldn't be good. i had to ease the gas as my wg
