Default DO I NEED A FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?

I am installing a turbo kit on my b18c. Do I need a fuel management system. All I want is 5-7 psi. Will that work?
thanks
Nik

A turbo with no engine management is like peanut-butter with no jelly.

DSM 450s and a vafc can be had for 250.

u will also need resistors if your obd1 or 2, and u will need injectors clips if your obd2.

best setup for low boost in my opinion and very cheap. i mean i only spent 2000 total on my car with my kit, and i ran this setup. so u can do it on a budget.

i got mine off ebay for $180

the price for a used VAFC will be coming down soon because rich people want to get the new, pretty, VAFC-II

or maybe that's just over here.

I eat pb with a spoon from the jar too! w00t
btw, tad - it was a joke.....I feel if he needs to ask this sort of question he obviously has not read ANYTHING.

Stupid question gets a stupid answer.

Running a turbo MAP based car, that is factory NA, without fuel upgrades is more like PB and Jelly without bread. Very messy.

Plain and simple.
When you add air(boost is alot of air) you add fuel(adding is done with managment)
More air then fuel= LEAN and you dont want that.
Nice and simple, so do it.
