you've spent the cash for a supercharger, meth injection, headers already, why do you want to skimp on the systems that make it all run
flashable is the smartest thing to do along with what ever size injectors and fuel pump you need

I believe the guy you were referring to was in Europe or England but I do remember reading and seeing a few pixs of his set up. Thought it was quite novel and I believe that he trigger the injectors with his SAFC when a certain rpm was reached. The only drawback is that it is a on or off injection like your WMI and not a measured injection like what is controlled by your ECU. Beau_Jester (I think that's his handle in 3SI) told me that he wired in TT injectors but still controls the fuel system with his NA ECU and the help of a SAFC. I don't know whether he still uses a FMU as the NA ECU has no reference for boost. I think he seemed satisfied with his setup but you might try reaching him. Have you made any fuel system changes?
How does researching my options translate into skimping? I'm trying to keep an open mind in tackling this issue. I'll make note of your flashable ECU suggestion. BTW, wasn't it you that thought my installing headers was the wrong thing to do you, yet I read your thread about you having trouble installing headers on your car? I take it you had a change of heart. Also, if your planning on TT your motor won't you need to pull your new headers and install a different exhaust manifold? See this is where doing a little planning and research can save time and money, unless of course you have abandon the turbocharging idea.
I've worked with FMU setups on supercharger setups and the best way to handle this is to get a rising rate (1:1) fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump/injectors that will support the power levels. It can be done on the NA ECU with proper timing control.
How much boost pressure are you running and what supercharger setup? Stock 10:1 N/A motor as well?
lol you never even read my posts before, and yes long tube headers are not as good for a supercharger setup as shorties or even a good exhaust manifold
ive have always been n/a, i would never run a fwd-tt ever, or a sc front wheel drive, too much trouble keeping the torque down
tbh when an option as cheap and easy as the flashable is available, i feel like anything else is skimping
as to my ecu problem, when i installed my headers i broke an o2 sensor without realizing it, but once i threw a CEL for fuel trims i looked at my trims and i was maxed out, and i was able to see that my rear o2 was not reading any voltage, i replaced it and car runs great now, easy troubleshooting is another benefit of the flashable ecu
Sorry I thought you authored "might be starting m build this summer, need opinions and info" must have been some other 3000gttom.
Anyway "To each his own" I just found that the Flashable ECU is a relatively expensive option for my requirements and what I'm currently needing. Maybe in the future, if my plans change, I may reconsider.
yea thats my thread, nothing wrong with anything i said in it, just no need to deal with trolls
when you say your tuning has to just meet requirements then your skimping,
o well have fun cutting corners, ive already gained 10wtq from 5000 rpm to the redline on an n/a with flash tuning just the fuel map
