Re:since im new to this homemade stuff

i want it to be somewhat safe...i know the internals are fine..my car only has 80k miles..and it runs fine..imag et a valve adjustment and stuff done before i turbo it..
i just want to be sure i know what im getting into before i do it...i gotta find a wastegate as well..this turbo doesnt have one on it

$40 shipped for a P06 OBDI ECU
$21 shipped for the chipping stuff from Moates.net
(Yes, its cheaper to find it all locally but I'm lazy)
$91 shipped Moates USB Eprom burner. (Willem is only $40 on Ebay)
Total=$290
UBERDATA=FREE!!
Also keep in mind this set up retards timing per pound of boost and is infinately adjustable and tunable.
I am planning to install it all very shortly. Waiting on Moates items.

Re:since im new to this homemade stuff
That's just friggin retarded. Seriously. FMU's are more expensive to buy in the inital run, then it's also more expensive to drive daily coz every one i've seen run unneccesarily rich. Now, Why the hell would you want to run an FMU at all, ever? unless you're a friggin putz that knows nothing about management and the thought of tuning scares you?

Re:since im new to this homemade stuff
uberdata for sure is the way to go for obd1 or 2 guys. You might want to spend a few hours tunin it on a dyno too, maybe 1 of the experienced tuners from this board live in your area.. go to the engine management forum and read up

Re:since im new to this homemade stuff
You can't compare uberdata to TurboEdit, because they're for different ECU's. If you have OBD-II, you need to convert to OBD-I, as there's no management systems for OBD-II right now. OBD-I guys get Uberdata, and OBD-0 guys get Turboedit. You should definately be fine with 8 PSI on your motor. Since you have a CX, You already have a wideband o2 sensor also...all you need to do is get the $20 controller and you can log your full A/F ratio.
