no, just get proper engine managment, there is alot of freeware out there such as crome, uberdata, etc. Engine managment is much cheaper now than it used to be.

FMU adds fuel by increasing the fuel pressure on a boosted motor. Its not an ideal way of adding fuel but I guess its okay for a short time. I could be wrong but I think it makes an engine run very rich but its better then too lean.

No.

I am not a fan of the emanage units. If you do want to use this system, make sure you have the ignition add-on. Simply adding fuel without retarding your timing is asking for a blown motor... especially since this is what loves to kill the ringlands on the H series pistons.

I HATE emanage. I tuned it on a honda before and it wasn't too bad of an experience, but when i've tuned it on other car makes the stock ecu would fight the emanage terribly at partial throttle making it very hard to tune.
