1.) I have a cupple of questions, first I am only going to run a max of 4.5-5lbs, I am using a TE04H turbo, which is a little bigger than a t28, I am wondering is there any way I can set up a rev limiter, so I can not rev past 5k rpm?? The turo I am using will not do anything above 5k, and I do not want to over rev.

2.) I am going to run an apexi s-afc, with stock injectors, Fmu, and a fuel pump. What ratio fmu should I get that is good from 4-7 lbs of boost? Also since I am runing stock injectors, should the start up setting for the s-afc be 0?? neather a + or -?? Should this be all that I need for fuel? with this fuel set up, can the stock injectors work with 5lbs of boost? I tryed to search, but not many people run low boost, and it seems not many people run low boost with s-afc thanks

No need for a SAFC with the FMU. 10/1 FMU will work fine. As far as the rev limiter, you don't need one installed, the factory one is fine, but if your determined, you can buy a MSD unit with a rev limiter.

10:1 is gonna be too rich. 8:1 should supply all the fuel you'll need.

I think the SAFC is better (since you already have it). Of course, you'll have to find a way to tune it. The FMU is basically plug and play.

would it be better for me just to use the 8:1 fmu? it only cost 100 bucks, so its not to bad, and will probally save me some head akes over tuning the safc. So will it be better for me to use the S-afc, or the 8:1 fmu? I plan to boost no more than 5psi, on stock injectors since I am using the stock injectors, will the safc still need to be dyno tuned?

The FMU is required reguardless, the SAFC might help tune a little. But a FMU will be fine by itself.
