I've been told that the 450cc vafc hack is the way to go. I had the same questions and these guys told me for 6-7psi a FMU and fuel pump are good, but if you want to go higher and everyone does, you should get the bigger injecters. I was wondering how to get DSM injectors in a civic but Jeff said they will do a rightup on that when the site opens. I'll let you know how mine runs when I put it in next week. I'm going to run 7psi on a walbro 255lph fuel pump and 12:1 fmu.

You choose one or the other, not both..

I prefer the 450cc afc/smc hack before I would use a FMU anyday.

The 450's with the controller will allow you to run more boost safely.

For 5-7psi maybe set the BTM to .4 or .3 You would be suprised, most guys that have used btms dont have them set very high at all. especially running low boost levels.

bob kennedy from turborex told me that with a 12:1 fmu a-a intercooled and a msd btm i didn't need another fuel pump. he ran his 87 crx @ 14psi boost with OEM fuel pump. bigger injectors though.
