I have a couple of questions though.
1) If I use the supplied FMU with my 24lb injectors, do you guys think I need to get a Boost Controller? After I install it, I am going to get a dyno tune and chip burned for it. Can they program boost retard into the chip on a 93 computer?
2) I want to get a gauge pod for the boost gauge and fuel pressure but I still haven't decided if I should get the one for the A pillar or if I should go with the A/C gauge cage that still has the small A/C vents on the sides. What do you guys think?
Thanks for any responses,
Adam

The fmu and 24's would work for now, but your going to be pushing the duty cycle of those injectors. Meaning you really need to look into upgrading injectors to 30's minimum, 36's would be better. You already have heads, intake, all alot of other good parts, you could have probably gotten away with running 30's when you were NA.

I'm not certain on the chip.

There is no boost controller for superchargers, only turbos. The pulley size and how high you spin the motor determines the amount of boost you make.

The A pillar pod makes it really easy and quick to keep an eye on your gauges, with the vent pod you spend too much time looking down. I would save the vent pod for some other gauges.
