just get a chipped ECU, large fuel pump and larger injecotors........run uberdata or crome and be done with it......FMU will just cause you problems.

what turbo psi are you running? what fuel pressure are you going to be setting the regulator at? are you running an aftermarket fuel pump?

these are all factors that effect the answer you are looking for.

If you are running the usual 7-10 lbs and stock rail pressure, then the common disc to use is the 12:1.

Honestly though man, a chipped ECU is going to be the same or less than an FMU/missing link setup and DSM injectors with a resitor box are going to be like 60-75 bucks. It's such a better setup and pretty much no more money, no reason not to get it.

nothing wrong w/ an FMU setup if done right. Same w/ a chipped ECU.

But Uberdata/Chrome are cheap and work well. For the money its worth it.
