yes I think you should go with an engine management that can be well tuned instead of the fmu... fuel pump and injectors, propably an adj fuel reg if your keeping the fmu at least.

good luck!

at least for the time being yeah im going to have to stick with the fmu, im only going to be pushing 7 psi with this setup as is, will the fpr cut it or will i still need larger injectors and fuel pump? what sized injectors would be recommended?

plugs and fuel pump, and don't turn the boost up unless you upgrade the nec. pieces.

Happy boosting.
