Default questions...

Hey guys,
I don't understand why you guys dislike the FMU so much...If I were to buy a Revhard or DRAG turbo kit, which EVERYONE says is sooo good, it comes with one also, so does Vortech and Jackson Racing. I know that it will increase the fuel pressure linearly with increasing boost pressure, and it's not adjustable, but I don't have all the time in the world to tune my car with Uberdata, and I don't wanna spend tons of money to run 10psi. If the kits come with an FMU and are GUARANTEED to work at up to 7psi, then why are they despised so much?? I'm going to get a fuel pump ASAP, until then I've turned down boost to 5psi-6 absolute max (the wastegate was/is adjustable, thanks guys), i'm running 93-94 octane also. My ECU is chipped, done by me 5 years ago (A.S. degree in electronics pays off) and I don't feel like soldering new chips in and spending tons of money on Uberdata. Oh yeah, I'm not getting thicker head gasket, as my bro told me first it's a bad idea, and it's been verified by u guys. Also, when I used GTECH it said 186hp, which makes sense b/c I had all the NA parts u could get, and my car was really fast anyway, I could beat my bros talon w/16G on highway, its like 2400lbs with driver. That's why I got SMALL turbo for very fast spool and good street power, I DON'T WANT A HUGE TURBO FOR NOW, so enough of the trash talking on turbo, LOL. Again thanks for all your help.
