I may be wrong here, but instead of messing with the FMU, why not go with a Boost Refrenced Fuel Pressure Regulator? A boost refrenced FPR should do the same job as the FMU, but it will bolt right where your stock FPR is.

Your main issue with going to bigger injectors will be tuning. With a boost refrenced FPR for every # of boost you make it raises your fuel PSI by a #. Same principal as the Vortech FMU, but it gives you more headroom for future mods.
