Sweet. I'm interested in seeing the progress!

Looks like you got most of it already taken care of. As far as fuel management goes, the BEGi and FM O2 clamp should work fine as long as you plan on staying around stock boost. But if you do decide to go the MSP ECU route, you'll need to do the VTCS CEL fix by installing a VTCS sensor if you don't want to have a CEL.

I have a how-to for the BEGi and FM clamp on here, and a how-to for the VTCS fix on 24/7. I'll post links to both once I get home from work.

Awesome thanks, Yeah I'll probably go with the FMU + 02 clamp because I'm not going any higher than 7psi, don't want to blow anything. so its a safe setup...right?

[KrayzieFox]

Yep, just toss the MP3 ECU out cuz the advanced timing will kill your engine. If you go with the BEGi combo then a NA ECU from a P5 or ES will work just fine (they can be had for about $50). Actually now that I think about it, you'll need to do the VTCS fix either way.. cuz all ECUs except the MP3 one want to see the VTCS sensor present.

[MP3Night]

You could send me the write up for the VTCS and the FMU and 02 clamp

[KrayzieFox]

BEGi install

FM O2 clamp install

VTCS CEL fix

And another useful thread about the BEGi FMU.

Don't toss the MP3 ECU out, sell it to me!!

[MP3Night]

My sister has a automatic P5 and if I switched my MP3 ecu out with her P5 ecu would that work? even though its a Automatic.
Also think you could send me one of those wires you have for the VTCS?

[Scorch3]

Nope the car won't shift with the mp3 ecu in it.
