Icon2 Budget D16 turbo - FMU 10:1 ?

Hey guys, I searched the turbo post but I didn't see anything about using an boost pressure based FMU.
https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/%2A%2A%2Aforced-induction-forum-faq%2A%2A%2A-1024174/

Here's the deal, I have a 93 Del Sol D16Z6 and I want a cheap turbo build for autocrossing. I only drive it 2,000 miles a year so durability isn't a big issue.

I was thinking of the following:
T3 or T3/4 hybrid turbo
Manifold + Downpipe
A FMU like this one (but I don't know how to calc the correct ratio)

BOV
External Wastegate
Boost controller
Oil lines and intake piping etc

I don't really want an intercooler as I'm only planning to do 5-6psi. I'm a turbo newb so I could really use some advice. Thanks!

i would get rid if the FMU. and invest into a s300 or a chrome. its less headaches and makes the car run better then the FMU.

but if you must run the FMU, u have to get urself a missing link to for the map sensor or the cheap way jus place a few check valves on the map sensor.

I forgot to mention I'll be using the stock 240cc injectors.

1. So I just need the FMU and the missing link and my fuel management is taken care of?
2. Is 10:1 the right FMU for 1.6L, 240cc inj, 5-6psi boost?

I might as well ask since you brought it up.

I have chips, chrome, a p28, and a burner... What else do I need to go from NA tuning to turbo tuning?
