Is an FMU(vortech,comptech) a must if you turbo your civic???

Get the Greddy FCU its already programmed for turbo.

it depends on how your doing your turbo setup...if your replaceing the ecu for a programable one..no
if your adding larger injectors with an s-afc or fields controller...no
if you running stock injectors and fuel pump...depends on boost and turbo size..but safe to say yes

Knowledge, I hope Greddy cuts you a check for all the advertising you do for them

going the fmu way is the cheap way out- and IMO, not a good idea if you care about reliability

Lmao Turntune! I should talk to them about that! I could be their poster child! lol

I agree with pissed on this one.....the fmu route will have you breaking something...at the VERY least run larger injectors if your going the cheapo route!
but doing it right the first time pays in the long run
