Default 97 neon sohc turbo help

hi, I'm kinda new at this. I'm in the process of turbo charging my 97 neon SOHC. I have a rb20 turbo and having trouble making a pipe that goes from the turbo to converter (any suggestions), the other ? is I am thinking about running a fmu for the fuel. Does anyone know how to hook it up. PLEASE HELP

The Fmu is used to controll your fuel return! Do you know where you fuel rail bleader is. If you do hook up a hose to that then your fmu. Then from the fmu to the gas tank return line.

Also to control fuel flow and pressure you can save money by getting a 20.00 fuel regulator. u can also use a fuel regulator as an fmu.

FPR's with a 1:1 rising rate work really nice.You should also look into a wideband air / fuel ratio meter, wideband only. theyre not cheap. keep your a/f ratio 11.0:1 at WOT with a turbo if you want your engine to last a good long time.Youll lose a few HP running that rich but save your engine bigtime.
