if it comes with an fmu then you should be good for only boosting 6 pounds. but if you want to boost pretty high then you should get a programable fuel system unit.

did everything you have come together as a kit? If so then it should be set to run how it is... if you just bought random stuff and there are programmable parts then i'd recommend a tune.

BUT it basically call comes down to weather or not you are running lean. AS long as you arent running too lean then you will be fine at low boost levels.

yeah, after the manifold and exhaust are installed you wont need a tune, but there will be some more power available that you wont be able to get to without a tune. It will be perfectly safe as long as the mods dont lean out your a/f ratio.

ORIGINAL: polo708

It will be perfectly safe as long as the mods dont lean out your a/f ratio.

it comes with an OBX 10:1 FUEL MANAGEMENT UNIT (FMU)

A universal fit makes the FMU compatible with most cars. Brand new and still sealed in box. Standard 10:1 ratio Direct bolt-on without modification. Mounting bracket and hardware included.
Lifetime warranty from manufacturer defects.



is that good or should i also buy greddy emanange?
