Default how much is an fmu worth?see inside why

well someone was selling an almost full kit for a pretty decent price, i dont think i want the fmu though, cuz i want to go standalone , should i get it for now just to get the kit in quick, or have em knock off money and not take the fmu? how much should I have em knmow off and still be fair

do i need the fmu if i got standalone?
if it helps, the kit conists of
Turbonetics t3, i think he said 60ar trim?, has a nitrous pill in it for lag in case i wanted to use it
Drag manifold
Turbonetics wastegate
Hks SSQ bov
FMU, unknown ?
gaskets
oil return line and whatever other lines needed
i think that was all i wanted from the kit $for like $1100 shipped, does this sound good or no?
there was a starion intercooler in there and a bootleg ractive boost gauge, but i didnt want that stuff with it,lmk, guys, thanks.

if you are gonna get a standalone or a piggyback such as hondata then you wont need the fmu.

jump on it, build a custom turbo setup.

after getting the hondata and injectors, ur done with fuel. you can get a fpr and fuel pump if u need more fuel.

then all u need is a turbo, manifold, wg, intercooler, bov, piping. and the other lil things.

Yeah, sounds like a good deal but everything else adds up quick, I've spent 4K over the price of my kit including standalone and all, and it's still all sitting in my room waiting to install

50-75 off what?
well i just talked with one of my friends hes got a boosted rx7, he said he thinks that turbo will be too small for me and thinks i should go t3-t4 hybrid and that wastegate sucks ***, which i have also heard from other palces?
i dunno what i wanna do damnit. it sounded like a good deal .

Turbos=$$$$ as do standalone. About your original question an FMU is worth from about 100-150 bucks maybe cheaper
