if your going down the fcd route, you will need an aftermarket fpr and a session on the rollers to get the fueling sorted mate.. an ecu would be an easier option as they are plug and play but they are expensive buggers

yes ecu would be better and not too pricey these days as they are common just keep an eye out in the classifieds section and you might pick one up handy enough for not much more than a fcd and fpr set up then just get it mapped ;)

There's nothing wrong with a fcd when used with a rrfpr , even at stock boost with a hks fcd ur car will be Mega lean don't even risk it with out getting a rrfpr and it set up by a tuner no need to be set on rollers it can be done on the road

yep...and no need for fuel pump and injectors... ecu wise id go for a jam/blitz/sard etc as they are just plug and play and are pre mapped.. i dont see the point in a emu or emb on a ct9 imo

it is advised you get them but not essential i had a td04 at a bar with stock injectors and fuel pump its just the age of the fuel pump that factors into play it cannot supply the fuel like it used to so its up to each individual specially for their budget.
