I just talked to a turbo tuning guy and my plans are 7-8 pounds of boost. I have a 255lph fuel pump and my turbo kit came wih a 12:1 fmu. here are the questions.
I was orginally going to do AEM EMS for my car however
1) I was told to use a VAFC and buy wideband kit instead. or
2) should i still buy injectors? if so what size for only 7-8 boost

I will be installing my turbo kit 2nd week of june.

7-8 psi on what turbo? A GT30, or a T-25? You have to be specific to get a reasonable expectation.

Ditch the FMU. AEM is expensive, and there are other tuning systems that cost less. I say go for the wideband so you can have a constant readout of your AFR, if something goes wrong, you'll know it. About the injectors, look for 550s. It's also a good idea to go a little higher with injector size just for room to grow.

Search the FI forum, there is tons of info in there

 

Its a T3 T04E .50 AR .63 trim? not sure if that answered your question man.
Thats what i have been reseacrhing is to ditch the fmu,
I kept going to the FI for sale i just seen all the info, thanks for all your info man! another question,
Whats the deal with the oil sending unit, does it have to be replaced? and where does it hook up to?

I actually had a turbo kit on my accord, and I would suggest getting the aem. It tellls you EVERYTHING with your car. I kow its expensive but ebay some go used for 70--900. I much rather buy that then replace the motor. Also go with a wideband, it will show you always the AFR. For 7-8 psi you wont need injector jsut the fuel pump. I ran 9psi without leaning out.

 

yah i dont know what the tuner guy was thinking, i have been researching that aem is the best for my car, thanks for clarifying, i have the 255 lph pump already, you are the man thanks for the info!

Are you serious? You must have had a hair drier for a turbo. Why take the risk with not putting injectors in?
