Default no management

Would it be possible to run just a missing link? Like 5 psi, intercooled, but basically no fuel managment, what problems would someone have if they did this?

Sure you could do it, but I wouldn't reccomend it because you would probably blow your motor. At least get a used FMU or something. Heck even brand new FMU's are only $100.

Why would it blow my motor, no one likes FMU's, I'd rather save for the AFC but I'm just wondering what happens that makes this so unsafe, 6 psi? not that much

It won't run past a certain rpm with no fuel and then you will be eating your pistons and rings alive. Don't risk, it's not worth it to risk it, not over this ----, drop the biskit. :P

That may be true, but I bet if they had to choose between an FMU and no fuel management they would pick the FMU or they would just not boost at all.

Alright guys, thanks for the update on ways to screw an engine, I never was actually contemplating this , just thought it would be seriously cheap and wondered how fast stuff would break.
