Do i need FMU if i already have Apex-i Vtec AFC??

I am putting together a turbo for my 92 JDM teg and already have a few mods under the hood. One of which is an Apex-i Vtec Afc. I see from a few of you that you recommend a vortech FMU is needed to regulate fuel when the engine sees boost. Just wondering do i need to get the FMU to run boost or will what i have already do the bizz?????
And while im asking questions does an equal lenght turbo manifold make more power than standard turbo manifold and what are the advantages of one????

Hey guys, I have the same question. I think you do just to help your car out, but my question is, what should the ratio be? like 12:1 or 10:1 or 4:1. Please help us out. Thanx

if you have a VAFC, purchase some 440cc or 450cc saturated injectors and run the VAFC hack. no FMU needed.

hack info: S/VAFC "hack" it yourself!

gob_2k - if you use an FMU for a boosted Honda, generally you will want the 12:1.

How about if I have a bigger fuel pump, bigger injectors, which I do, do I still need the fmu? I will run 10 lbs of boost on my accord. Also, what is the VAFC Hack?
Thanx
