Default Turbo Braniacs help me out!!

Okay, I've searched and read countless threads about FMU's and I'm still confused. I'm going to install my MaxRev turbo kit soon. This is my setup:

92 Integra LS
115,000 miles (motor is strong)
stock block
stock injectors
stock fuel pump
t3/t04e .57 trim

I might just buy a Vortech FMU for the time being until I have money for the Hondata. I have a Walbro 255lph IN-TANK sitting in the closet. I'm confused as to whether or not that will be sufficient for the FMU. Some say you need an inline even if you have a higher flowing in-tank. So what is it? Also, since I plan to run only .45 bar, is 12:1 too rich?

why waste money on the fmu? Just save your money for hondata. Put the turbo install on hold for a couple of more weeks.

Yes. Get a hondata system and I'll put a start up map in there so you can drive it to nyc for tuning.
