I think that is the funniest thing i have ever heard. Any improperly tuned vehicle is going to fail smog. It doesn't matter if you are running an EMS.....VAFC hack...or an FMU. Its the tune that fails, not whats being used.

1. You can't put in 550cc injectors with or without an FMU without another tuning device to scale injector differences

2. A 12:1 FMU raises fuel pressure 12 psi PER psi of source (manifold) pressure..

3. I wouldn't use an FMU for anymore than 5 psi, and temporarily..

4. Old 150,000 mile injectors, high boost, and an FMU is just asking for a stuck injector, hopefully open lol..

5. It's practically impossible to fine tune with an FMU, unless you get an SFMU, which would cost you more than an Uberdata/CROME/etc setup, and makes no sense whatsoever at all..

6. Don't use an FMU.
