    get some injectors and an AFC. FMU's are a piss-poor method of fuel control on a boosted car and you'll be missing out on a good bit of HP for any given boost level.

    I'm surprised of your stupid suggestions .. only this guy ^^ gave some good advice

    - FMU sucks major ass for turbo applications, don't even consider that one
    - AFC is kinda better than the FMU, but sucks as well due to not controlling the timing
    - Controlling fuel is not what gives you power, timing is. Fuel delivery just determines if you'll go, or you'll go booooom .. and not go at all

    If it's gonna be a hack, then EManage it is. However, a chipped ECU or a stand alone is what you need for best results

    well thanks... i was merely offering an inexpensive and pretty universal solution to his fuel issues that would be far better than an FMU. i never said it was the best setup in the world, but for a low-buck turbo setup it'll work just fine.
