so how does the tearstone kit know how to add fuel for the amount of boost your running?

Wouldn't that be the job of the FMU? Not sure which FMU comes with the budget kit, though.

ok i see. so the tearstone kit uses a FMU to add more fuel under boost and relies on the stock FPR to keep fuel going when not under boost. with an aftermarket FPR you can do the job of both those things, and get rid of the problems a FMU will cause

just need larger injectors and something to tune w/ electronicly

but like i was saying. for the money you spend on the super expensive in cabin fuel gauge w/ isolator. you could spend that on a 1:1 boost referencing fuel pressure regulator(comes w/ the gauge already). and then get a set of dsm 450's to tune with. they sell for 60-90 bucks all day long.
you will already have emanage, so tuning the larger injectors isn't going to be much of an issue.

The budget kit comes with the FMU, while the enhanced kit comes with the eManage.

if you are getting it seperatly, then you won't need the fmu. like i was saying then, just get the afpr and ditch ithe in cabin fuel pressure gauge. sweet.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

so ditch the fuel prssure?? and instead like stated before just get oil pressure? whats a "afpr" Air fuel presurre regular?

adjustable fuel pressure regulator. as long as its 1:1 referencing.

you don't really NEED the oil pressure gauge, so long as you know you have oil pressure. given that your motor isn't old.
don't get me wrong. my oil pressure gauge allows me the privelage of knowing when my oil is warmed up enough to drive hard. it also gives me a little piece of mind. but i hardly ever look at it. and if it hit zero, i doubt i would notice. i would notice however, the oil pressure warning light coming on. which of course you already have.

at this time i would like to point to this good fpr tutorial over on galantspeed

that is a great tutorial btw. and if you are looking for something simpler, there are bolt on afpr's out there to eliminate the need for the extra plumbing. if that interests you

Will this be okay he ratio is what u stated..
http://216.242.145.16/products/product.phtml?p=10

do you think its worth getting the emange and ditching the FMU..Agian im not gona be doing anything major i just wanna install it and drive..i figure the only reason i get emange is for tuneing..im gona run under 10PSi this is my daily driver,so i dont wanna buy things which i will not use..so if the FMU will do the job im fine wit that and ditch the emange it save me few bucks but if i need it ill get it..
