Turbo guys.... quick question about FMS???

hey guys what would be the best way to go on a fms.... I dont really have alot of money after i buy this kit and it doesnt come with a fms so what would be the best way to go on a fms here are some of my options.....

FMU set up (SF kit set up)
MF2 kit
E-manage
RSX injectors w/ VAFC 2
and others i dont know about...........


And also can i roll around without a FMS just for a little bit untill i get some more money to get one??? And if so how many pounds can i roll around with or should roll around with, with out blowing something up???? Someone told me i could go like 2or 3 maybe 4 without a FMS... Turbo guys let me know when i get the kit in i want to put this thing on. Can i roll with out a FMS for a little bit with out blowing anything up??? Thanks........

rsx injectors and emanage

do not run it without a fuel system. it will break. the stock ecu will not compensate for any boost.

do not listen to anyone tell you otherwise

It is not a good idea to install a turbo kit with out any sorts of fuel management. If you do PLEASE DRIVE IN VAC, it will lessen your chances of wasting your motor.

you can install it and run without boost. You just need to do 1 of 2 things (depending on your wastegate)

If you have an internal wastegate, simply disconnect the wastegate actuator valve from the swingarm.

If you have an external wastegate, take the top off the wastegate, take the spring out, then put the top back on.

But i still dont recommend running it

Sell you kit and keep your money. If you don't have money now, you sure won't have it later.
