The whole "I have a friend who once told me that his brother-in-law saw a guy who..." bit will only get you so far. Offer up sound and logical facts to support your claims.</TD></TR></TABLE>

WTF are you talking about? I haven't made anything up...I installed his kit..and its been running fine at 5-7psi with the FMU and intank high pressure fuel pump...Im sorry if thats not enough for you

I never said you made it up. You made a very general statement without any factual support, and I was just pointing it out for you.

The setup in which you installed on your friends car does not contain the proper elements for a correct FMU system. Again, read the posts that I have mentioned above and you will know why. It's nice that his car hasn't met its demise as of yet, but with the lack of a inline pump the stage has been set for destruction.

Intank and inline together might be a little too much fuel. Just stick with the inline because that is what everyone, including myself, used back in days before Hondata. You'll just have to deal with the obnoxious hum under the hood. Just keep the boost reasonable (under 10psi) and you'll be fine.

I have been using the 12:1 fmu, inline pump and missing link setup for over two years now without a single issue. I have continued to use it simply because I don't have the time or the money to upgrade to anything else. For what it is, the fmu works and will get you by.</TD></TR></TABLE>

very helpful archived threads.
