Default FPR or FPU - which one?

As most of you know if you've been reading the board I'm in the process of installing a turbo. I have some DSM 450 injectors in right now and it will almost certainly run rich. To correct this can I just get a fuel pressure regulator? Or do I need a big FMU like the greddy ones that come in their turbo kits? I know a FMU will work , but I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. Will a FPR make do?

there is no other alternative to the FMU unless you get a management system

So you are running the 450cc injectors with no stand alone or AFC hack? You put in the 450cc on stock ecu?

I guess I will get an FPU if i have to... any recommendations? Im not looking to spend more than 150, so if they're more than that, I might be doing the potentiameter modifiation and just pray that it works, but I dont have any fuel pressure gauges so I wouldnt even know what PSI I would be running. AARRGH.. all these damn parts I need...
Yes arturbo... I have them in without an afc hack or standalone. I havent driven the car yet though. Also, does anyone know a link on how to do/what the AFC hack is? I'm clueless.

i hope your running a injector resistor box with your dsm injectors if you have a obd1 and up car.

OK let me just simplify my question - What fuel parts do I need in order for my turbo setup to work properly? (Do I even need new injectors?) I need to know everything. I want to set this up right.

you NEED a resistor box with those injectors or else you will burn up the drivers
in the ECU.

from my understanding dsm injectors are peak and hold injectors, and your stock ecu is set up for saturated injectors. without the resistor box, what basically happens is that you will eventually fry the drivers in your ecu. the resistor box is found on older hondas EF series/some DA integras, and you gotta wire it inline to your injector wire harness to give it the proper resistance the ecu is looking for.

That's still not everything I need. I mean coming from a bone stock point of view, as if I didnt even have the DSMs in. Do I need new injectors or can I just put the stock ones back in and get a fuel management system and be fine? **** that inline wiring stuff, it will be too much of a pain to find that resistor box among all the other small parts I already need to find. I need the most reasonable and cost effective solution so I can get my car back on the road, because I have no alternate means of transportation. The fuel compenents are all I need to do and I should be set, but I have no idea where to go or what to do. I would really appreciate some help with this as I am absolutely clueless, and don't have hardly any more money to spend on this project.
