FMU restricts the fuel on the return side and is a "baidaid" it is set-up for 19lb injectors. useless for you...what was your injector duty cycle with those mods and 24lb injectors?? proball pretty close to 80%..i can almost tell you your gonna need bigger injectors and another tune....42lb's atleast.

if your car is tuned and has larger injectors that can handle the fuel requirements of the engine, then you wont need the FMU.
