Default turbonetics fuel management system.

Can someone please explain to me what it is? The website doesn't really go into details about what it is, it just says that you don't have to worry about someone tuning your car, although I think it would probably run better with like a hondata s200. My question is, how does the turbonetics fuel managemnt get installed, and will it work untill I can get the hondata or some other comparable system running on 8lbs of boost?

that looks like nothing more than an ignition advance/retard box. i'd ditch it and get hondata or crome.

I'm planning on getting the Hondata, but what were to happen if I ran what turbonetics gave me untill I bought the Hondata? How does it install? Is it difficult?

It wouldn't run at its potential and could potentially cause serious engine damage (ie fried piston rings). I ran the Greddy equivalent for over a year with minimal problems but the engine felt so much stronger when I upgraded to Crome. It probably just splices into the MAP, injector, power and ground wires at the ECU and piggybacks off it. It shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to install assuming you know how to use a soldering iron and know which wires are which.

What are the chances it will do great damage? What about if I didn't rag on it? Also, what does the Hondata hook up to and how does it work?
