    I cant beleive this is a real question.

    Its "possible" to power walk a cat too .. but not at all advisable.

    FMU's are OK for feild cars and shit that you basically plan to break or if there is NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE ... this is not you.

        I agree, FMUs are for turbo projects that involve free junk yard parts and when you only expect the car to run a week, maybe a month and then tow it back to the junk yard

            BASEMAP = you can drive ti to the tuner..... bagging on it is probably going to blow shit up... But then again there was guys on HMT that rocked basemaps likt it was thier job with no problems.

            At least you can turn a basemap into a good tune ... you cant tun an FMU into anything but a blown up motor.

                  turbo90accord has done it... but FMU tuning is rather primative, and could very easily result in disaster. Especially when boosting a 20 year old motor, using used parts and a turbo that's too small (14b, right?)

                  It can be done... but to do it anywhere near safely, you have to have the patience, knowledge, and time to do it right... which really makes it no different than the chipped ECU, other than the fact that fewer steps are involved.
