Don't know what props are, but as long as you are patient and don't try anything stupid you should be fine.

Measure twice, cut once! <<Editted because I didn't take my own advice

An FMU is a hardware device to increase fuel pressure proportional to intake manifold pressure. Essentially a rising rate fuel regulator. Vortech's FMU is exactly that but sits down stream of the stock regulator to restrict the fuel return from the rail (hence increasing pressure). It's the old style way of tuning and not very adaptable.

The E-manage is a device that measures boost and other parameters and can drive injectos and ignition accordingly. It's not as good as a standalone unit like the AEM but is a huge leap better than the V-AFC/FMU combo.

Shouldn't that be the other way around?

Dont get the EMS if you're not located near a well known tuner. Dont get the FMU...that's the old school way of "tunning" and has been proven to not be the best way to add fuel to turbo'ed cars.

The full-race manifold is really over-kill for a T3/T4. Invest the money on a BB upgrade for the turbo and make sure it's also water-cooled if you can.

I still think you're better off just buying a kit that's out there already.
