1) As many have already mentioned, ditch the FMU and get the turboedit. Don't even think about using the FMU at any stupid level.
2) I think you're turbo will be fine for your application. Will it spike? That depends on how crappy the wastegate is. Will it hold boost to about 8-9psi? I'm sure it will do just fine. Will it go up to 10-12 psi? Yes it will probably do ok at those psi also. When you get a bigger turbo aka T3/T04E .57 trim, will you want to run 10-12psi on a stock b16? That would almost be no unless you're an good tuner. This has been covered many times before... 8psi from a T3 is NOT the same as 8psi from a T3/T4 in terms out hp/tq output. The T3 .42/.53 (or whatever) is a bit on the smaller side for a B16 but it by no means is "inadequate"--it just means that you have to boost it to a higher psi to get the same amount of power with a larger turbo at the lower psi.
Again, dont mess with the FMU especially on a 10.2:1 B16 engine. You'll blow that SOB in a couple of weeks. I this was helpful.

Re:first turbo kit
i wouldnt even consider runnning that size turbo on my d16 let alone a b16. i have a t3/t4 on my a6 and am glad i bought it. well worth it if you ask me. and will that turbo work for you. sure it will, but youll be limited on home much power you can make with it
