No no. That is not what i was asking. I know how FMU works. The part I don't get is the new honda fuel system design. Your civic has a returnless fuel system, which I wonder how the FMU is hooked up. Catalyst, can you help me with the answer?

I think it just goes inline from where the fuel comes out of until the fuel is used... you gotta like spliece into the fuel line by the fuel rail I think... thats why it regulares the fuel pressure so all the fuel is used up depending on the level of boost you are running, I mean I understand how it works, its just hard to explains.

catalyst.. the air-water and water-alcohol is an upgrade ryt? how much are they? and the turbo upgrade? what are other upgrades that we can avail? and what the difference between air-water and water-alcohol injection? please don't flame me.
and hows the gas mileage? sorry i dont have any idea when you get your car turbo how much did the gas mileage increased? and i forgot..how do you adjust the boost? and whats the lowest you can run it? sorry for all the questions man..
O.K. Maybe this was covered. I didn't see it though. Where you installed the intercooler, did you have to remove the A/C radiator? Or is it behind the intercooler? I live in Arizona and I'll be damned if I am w/o A/C in this 115deg weather.
with the SF kit you do not have to remove the a/c radiator, meaning you still will have air condtioning. I know how you feel about the hot weather and wanting a/c, we live in a wonderful desert also that gets up to sometimes higher then 115deg.
