its pretty dangerous in that the stock FD ECU isn't designed for thatirflow of the FC turbo........


BUT

The FC turbo won't make near the power the twins will, so just from that standpoint it should be "OK" but IMHO, I wouldn't touch it until it had a standalone.

wait, what? you had a 2nd gen turbo on your FD? Does that even fit with the FD LIM? post pics. how much boost was it running? You realize those things run 6psi without a boost controller and make about 170 to the wheels. In fact a bone stock FC runs on 87 octane with no problems.

I can't see it running lean really, but who knows.
