will work fine... if you tune it... which you can't do with a fuel pressure regulator...

you should be afraid that you will blow your motor... you're cutting out the most important part of a turbo install

He doesnt need an intercooler for that size turbo if thats the important part you were talking about. Not at that boost on that size. My friends ek civic with a t15 at 7-10lbs was fine with no intercooler, he is adding one now but he doesnt NEED it.

I recommend you do a lot more research before you start anything.

how come? requires maybe $15 in chips soldered into the ecu... no one is supposed to charge for the software itself(that's part of the eua of uber)... sure, if you go somewhere to have it tuned you'll have to pay to have it tuned, but that shouldn't be any different than any other tuning software

I'm sure the uberdata guys would love to know who is charging people $1500 to get it running

I would like to know as well. The software is windows bassed so you could also steet tune it your self with a laptop.
