Which one do you have?

Vortech, Begi, and egay has FPR's.

Benmazda25 03-04-2010 09:16 PM

The Dang octagon one off Ebay. The type you can buy that comes with a AFPR for $119

Benmazda25 03-04-2010 09:20 PM

Okay kinda spendy, but is that what everyone runs? It says its only 1-1 ratio? Don't I want it higher? WHat do you all run and how do they work for you?

Benmazda25 03-04-2010 10:26 PM

What is the right ratio to be running? 1-1 8-1 12-1???

Buy a megasquirt.

Benmazda25 03-04-2010 10:57 PM

LOL wise I had the money, but until then I need a temp fix that won't break the bank.

wow
 
If only there were a FAQ somewhere on this board, in a post entitled "DIY FAQ - all your answers in one big post." If only. And imagine if there were a search function that could find it for you. Imagine !!!!!

I recommend you run your ratio at 22.4 to 1. This will give you outstanding fuel economy!

But I'm just some random guy on the internetz. Maybe I'm screwing with you. Maybe your motor will explode into neato lego-sized pieces if you do that. Maybe you'd better do some research of your own, and become a man, instead of a thong-wearing pool boy.

Whups, starting to sound a bit like Hustler and I don't really have his talent for such things.

Benmazda25 03-04-2010 11:08 PM

WOW this site is full of great people!!! LOL, so I do, do my research, though I do like to get personnal opions from people who have been here already!!! My bad for not wanting to buy things from website when every site wants your to buy, but none want to review and have customers talk about the product, thus the reason why I ask questions, huh ask people who have tried things. WHAT A THOUGHT!!! Because if you ask me, FMUs from ebay that are optigon shaped crush their aluminum disc's within 7 PSI. But info like that shouldn't be shared because I'm a mean guy that wants everyone to go through that and waste their $119. And many other things.

In a nut shell, try to be a little nicer, and maybe just help people, because you don't know where they are coming from, or what they are doing. And yes they could be dumb, but its not your place to judge!!!

This is an advanced board. There are some serious discussion here by people who know a lot. I've been here almost 2 years and I am up to a whopping 107 posts. This is because I learn from reading. Partly because my ETA for boost wasn't until this past christmas, but mostly because I didn't post a question unless I knew it was legitimate. How did I know it was legitimate? Research.

Dude you asked if your A/F ratio should be 1/1. ONE TO ONE. This indicates you are completely unqualified to turbocharge your car.

Starting a thread asking which FMU people would recommend, this one or that one, is one thing. Crashing random threads with the question is another thing entirely and will not be tolerated.

Cspence 03-04-2010 11:19 PM

Just think, if you would have just saved a little more instead of trying to cheap out and get crap off ebay, you'd have half the funds to buy the quality piece from a reputable vendor....

Lesson for the day - EBAY is great for some things and not for others, use your best judgement

chicksdigmiatas 03-04-2010 11:32 PM

Ben, where do you live? I want dibs on the shell when you blow it up.

Myspeed123 03-04-2010 11:38 PM

Save the money, get yourself and good system like most everyone!!! MEGA you squirt!!! But if you are going to blow it up, go look under your parents couch ,or in their purse, and get yourself at LEAST a BEGI. Have fun on your top about to pop!!!
