Default Fuel Management System

I plan on turboing my own engine which is a vauxhall engine.

When going under boost ( higher levels ) I need a Fuel Management system and a system that is going to retard my ignition.

I have found out that the MSD 6BTM will retard my ignition when under boost.

Now I need to know a good Fuel management system. I hear a lot about Zdyne and hondata but since I am not going to turbo a honda engine I need to use another system.

Is it possible to use the vortech FMU at first to experiment a little or do you guys advise a Standalone fuel management system?

If so what kind of management will work?

I have found something else while looking in to the turbo projects.

It was a kit which uses 2 extra injectors which are placed just before the TB and they spray extra fuel.

Is this a system that works or do you advise to use another setup?

that system does work, lots of people with hondas use larger injectors with devices that pulse them slower. but the additional injectors can work just fine.

I am and have been using this setup for the past 5 months and seems to work quite well. I am having a problem with running out of fuel over 9psi so I will need to update the fuel pump. Me running out of fuel has nothing to do with the system. I just cannot get enough fuel pressure from the pump.
It is very easy to setup and is fully adjustable from inside the car. You can adjust the threshold and gain from inside the car.
This system is a complete standalone and can be used on other cars in the future. I chose to use this because I could not use zdyne on my car, 86 crx with PG7(86 integra ecu with vacuum advance). I am also running a full MSD ignition, MSD6al, MSD BTM, Blaster 2 coil, and msd wires.
