You can't tune an FMU.

no i was told that with the fmu and missing link it wouldnt need a tune, but my car wouldnt start so i changed to the check valves and now its just rich. i was thinking about adding another check valve so it would see less air at the map sensor and turn the fuel down.
i want the flames to stop coming out my exhaust

Maybe its your FMU, whats your complete set up? Injectors, etc.

nope
but even at idle the car isnt seeing boost so the fmu doesnt work. so it should be running fine like n/a

At idle the car shouldnt be seeing boost anyway.
You dont have injectors or anything correct? Try taking off all your fuel stuff, FMU, and fuel pump and see how that works. You shouldnt bog or anything.
Ditch the FMU and get a VAFC and get that thing tuned, i only heard bad things from FMU's and this is one of them.

Re: (slowturbocx)
if your OBD1, you can chip your ECU for about 30 bucks.. (you do the labor)... and other than getting someone to burn you chips, or if you invest in a chip burner.. uberdata is free... next best thing to Hondata.

I'd say go with a Hondata or Uberdata to fine tune your set up, or pick up a used SAFC or VAFC and trim the fat.
BTW, what happened to your Missing Link?
