You can get DSMs for ~$50, and a resistor pack should be about $30. I got my resistor pack for $1 off eBay. If you can't find a reasonably priced resistor pack, you can wire 7-8ohm resistors inline with your injector clips.

would it be better to get new injectors as mentioned above or get say ... a 12:1 FMU and keep my stock injectors?? if the FMU is the cheaper better route to go.. then is 12:1 ratio what i'm lookin' for?? i'm lookin' to run 8psi at the most??

FMUs cause extremely high fuel pressure under boost, which can lead to injector failure.

FMU setups are fine for low boost, say around 5psi. Once you start turning the boost up, your fuel pressure will start to skyrocket. At 8lbs of boost, your fuel pressure with an FMU would be close to 130psi at the rail.

Hondata can be used to tune both NA and boosted applications. Yes, you have to convert to an OBD-I ECM.
