there is no fcd on n/a? what do you need it for what are your symptoms? you should never run out of fuel or hit a fuel cut "wall" no matter how many mods you have on an n/a

fcd

just checking...cause all throughout the forum people are talking about fcds on their cars...but i thought that fcds were only for turbos. Some guy who had an NA said he just bought one. Maybe i misunderstood, it was 3 am afterall. thanks

FCD = Fuel Cut Defenser
I might be wrong but from what I understood only turbo's could use it. It was to keep fuel flow when boost reached a 'higher than stock' level so you wouldn't hit the 'fuel cut wall' when the CPU says no more fuel because boost reached too high.

You shouldnt need a FCD on an NA, if you do need it then stop holding out your secrets from the rest of us

FCD on N/A?? Never.
There is absolutely no point.
It's like putting an intercooler on an N/A.
It changes the voltage from the TII's boost sensor, to fool the ECU into thinking it's running less boost, and doesn't shut off fuel, (which it does for safety).
N/A's don't have any kind of fuel cut- execpt for redline...
Maybe he was talking about some kind of rev limiter bypass??
