Yeah, if your going to use an FMU, then use the Check valve (missing link) because you dont want your MAP reading any positive pressure then in turn you'll get a check engine which in turn your engine is ran in ---- mode.

How much boost do you plan to run? An fmu is ok if you're at low boost and you retard your timing a bunch. It's not a great alternative but it can work.

sell the fmu, use crome and get some dsm 450s. u can go to a junkyard and gank some 450's or get them for about 50 bux. sell the fmu to some retard and put that money towad having someone like xenocron chip it for you. hell of a lot safer and not that expensive
