well originally was goin to go with a 8:1 FMU but have a chance to get the 12:1 for pretty cheap.. do you guys think this would be too much for the 5sfte?

Thanks

get RR FPR, it will be better, you will be able to adjust the pressure like you want.

12:1 is a bit too much Matt. I sugest going with 8:1

8.5:1 would be perfect

4 is way to low - you wont be able to move the car until the turbo spools and 12... well... cut a hole in your hood so you dont damage it when the block goes up in the air.

well think I might try the 4:1 at first just cuz the price I can get that one for.. and if I think its runnin too lean i'll swith to a 8:1 diafram (sp?). I'm running a warblo supra fuel pump and the fuel lines are new also so think I should be alright.. if not I'll know right away and swap it out to 8:1

um

i think its better to start with a rich running setup then leaning it out.

more than likely 4:1 will run really lean. if you want one right away, get the deal on the 12:1 and then switch to the 8:1 diaphram. its safer.

Why not get the higher pressure one and a regulator in case you need more down the road?

well I only plan on running around 5-6psi tops and 3 for daily driving.. so I don't wanna run rich all the time.. thats why im leanin towards the 4:1 now instead of ne of the others.. was gonna get the 12:1 just cuz of the price... who knows but I gotta figure something out..

The 5sfte will work without a FMU correct?
