Default fmu pros and cons

i've been pieceing together a turbo kit for my b16 and i'm comming down to the last few steps of the process now. now i've hear and extremely large amount of bad talk about an fmu. but then again i've heard they are great for low boost applications. i ahev a very small turbo and i do not with to run any more than 6lbs.
i seem to be leaning towards the fmu unit even though i already have a chipped ecu. are there anything i should look out for when runing this unit. or is there anyone in the MD area that is famiial enough with ubberdata or chrome to burn me a new chip?

FMU's are not great for low boost applications. They are just better than nothing.

Go with a chipped ECU. You will make more power and it will be safer.

If you already have the chipped ECU, I'd go that route.
