Default turbo setup question

hey guys, i have just recently done an mpfi swap on my d15b1 motor in my 1990 civic dx hatch. now i want to buy the drag gen III turo kit for the car, but i was wondering if it's alright to fun the fmu on my car. now i don't know much about turbos but i do know that fmu's are really not good. but i really can't choose what fuel map to go with either. emanage, neptune, chrome, turbo edit, or zdyne. what would be my best choice?


keep in mide that this is still going to be my daily driver so i don't want crazy numbers. maybe like 160-180 around that area.

to answer quickly, yes you can.
to answer correctly, with the ems options out there now, it is better to go with one of them. the fmu is old technology, and does nothing for your timming. if you are happy with the 160-180, youll be fine. i made 230 5 years ago on a drag kit with a b16 and an fmu pig rich. but be prepared for the ditch the fmu replies.

yes it'll work. i ran fmu for 9months on my gsr and then went on to get tuned (crome).

i think turboedit is what you'll probably run for obd0
