Quik safety setup Q

I put up a post a while ago about hp on my setup. i just want to make sure this setup is safe. someone said that my fmic would blow up my engine. bs? or not.


i would just point to my sig, but im not sure if its working. so here we go

T2 swap 3mm ceramic seals
street port polish
spearco front mount intercooler
turbo smart BOV
no cats
K&N cone filter



any/all comments (on this setup) are welcome.

Thanks

with no cats you will have alot less restrictions and I can almost guarantee you will hit fuel cut, I suggest a way to add fuel or at very least an FCD.

ill run what boost i can. stock until i get emanage, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, full exhaust. theres more but i forget. i do plan to make this thing a total beast. 450-500 whatever i can get out of the thing. this is a long term project, so im no trying to do everything at once. my motor blew and i had to replace it so i got all the engine stuff out of the way.

fcd is the next thing i buy.

any other ideas/comments?

if it's safe or not depends on the boost. likly it'll get into unsafe boost so you'll have to keep your foot off the gas. keep it under 10psi till you get more fuel.

no but if you put on the FCD you will likly go over 10psi when you floor it.

don't put on the FCD. I doubt you need it with the emanage anways so it's a waste of money. just take it easy and keep it under fuel cut till you get the rest of the stuff.
