you can run either or, but not both. if you wanna go chipped ecu on crome, it'll be somewhat easy. depending whether or not you can tune your own car.

or get something else DIY like Turbo Edit for obd0. Lots of people that can burn your ecu/ write you a basemap and then eventually tune you also.

99.8% of the people here will say ditch all that stuff and get a decent e.m.s. if you are staying and staying is the key word low boost, the fmu is fine. a little fat but fine. an fmu and the vafc will melt pistons. it is either one or the other. but, frank, 99lspwr is running pretty good boost with tat setup, but he went into far more detail with it.

your best bet is to get a good strandalone you can grow into. but thats just my o.o2

good luck either way and take care.
