Alrighty here goes...
I am having rouble getting a clear answer on whether to go to an ECU or not on my 93 Base FD. Figure I'll run it by the smart guys before I make a mistake and possibly throw my money away.
With the following mods..
1.RB intake
2.Downpipe
3.K+N drop in filter
4.I plan on adding a Catback (RB SS duel tip i think).
I am seeing too much boost and hitting fuel cut at higher rpms. This makes me nervous. Makes my mechanic a little nervous, and makes vendors want to sell me fuel/boost control or most commonly an ECU.
Should I just get a boost controller and say **** it? OR is this the time to go with a PFC or something of the ECU sort. I'M NO RACER, and I'm planning to stop at a Cat-back for mods. I just want a fast, streetable ride, with AC, steady idle, and optimum reliability.
Please advise.
