you really need to know how much boost he plans to run...if you are running less than 5lbs then an FMU is a good cheap alternative...anything 6lbs and above you'll want something more precise like a piggyback, extra injector controller, or standalone/hacked ecu

i run 6lbs daily driver and will turn it up to ~8lbs at the track...i'm running a MPI extra injector controller and 2 450cc/hr injectors and have put on 15k miles on my wagon and it it still running strong, no smoke, and i have good compression across all cylinders
