fmu or sfmu

[bikeman613]

i no this is probebly not the right forum to post this in but do to the fact that im a new member i cant post in the tubo 420a forum so ill ask it here and maybe someone can help me out. im going to go with a basic turbo setup running aroun 6-9 psi and i am going to go with the 12:1 fmu but i was wondering if you can hook a fuel pressure sensor to it and monitor the pressure just for the insurance, if so how do i do it. one more thing is it worth it to run the fmu to the engine bay or just leave it under the car, if so how do i hook it up under the hood

To install a FP gauge, tee into the feed line close to the fuel rail, and install your gauge or sender into that. Don't run a mechanical FP gauge into the cabin, use an electronic gauge for that.

You can place the FMU anywhere you'd like, as long as it is in the return line. To place it in the engine compartment, you would want to convert to an early style fuel system, with the FPR and return after the fuel rail. For your goals, I would keep it simple and leave it underneath the vehicle.

Do you plan on rebuilding the motor? If so, don't worry about the size being "too large."

What do you want? Do not let someone tell you that something is too big if that is what you want.

There are a lot of options out there for turbos.

S-FMUs and FMUs are used in different scenarios. Do the research and you would've found that out...
