If you upradeur injectors like u wanna do with dsm 440's then you dont need the FMU. I just recently put my kit together and on my car over this past summer. It looks like ur wanting to go the same route i did.

I got the DSM 440's, Tial 38mm wastegate (set at 7psi right now) Ebay intercooler, ebay intercooler piping (which required some cutting to fit right but not a big deal, it was worth it) Rev hard log manifold (so i could keep my ac), rev hard downpipe (2.5in), t3/t4 57trim turbo from ebay (i have about 8000 miles on the set up and the turbo is doing fine. Im running a oil restricter with it, so if u do decide to get one of these make sure u run a restricter as well) A knock off HKS ssqv BOV from ebay. I had my stock p72 ecu chipped and socketed and tuned with crome by John Vega at Phearable.net. Goodluck with ur build

thanks bro

well i'm getting an 18g, so i have an internal wastegate i believe.

for the oil restricter, what would be an advantage of having that? i don't understand its concept.

i hope i can find a good place that tunes around here. people are tellilng me that it's all about the tune that'll make the car better =]

The oil restricter keeps the amount of oil pressure down going to the turbo. To much pressure will cause the turbo seals to go bad, thus leaking into your exhuast and intercooler. When the seals go bad the turbo's bearings will fail from over heating.

^^ what he said about the oil restrictor is right. An what people have been telling you that it is all about the tune is also correct.
