check spark plugs, do you have aftermarket ignition?
What wastegate are you using is it tight?

Are you saying when you boost it's not smooth and sometimes breaks up?

Are you running rich enough? Maybe you're lean.

I had that problem on an old EG I boosted a long time ago. Pretty much the same set-up. FMU, Adj Reg, all that. It turned out to be a bad spark plug wire.

Ditch the FMU, get some engine management and injectors. Then get a tune. Unless you have a mechanical issue all your problems will be solved.

my problem is im not still not getting the right amount of fuel.... im not made of money so i can trow away the fmu for some other type of fuel solution.
im going to hook up the rest of my vafc2 controller and bump the fuel on that but i cant find the pin out on the ecu to hook up the white and yellow wires(airflow and pressure signal) anyone know which one that hooks up tooo for my 94 ex civic...

i looked on apexi site and that dosnt show me what im looking for or maybe im just over looing it?!

1) proof read

2) google.com for the pinouts...there are like 20 sites that have them posted.
