Yes there was FCD for the Starion. HKS like the other Japanese performance companies are very poor on older parts. They are not interested in anything old even if they used to make lots of good stuff when the vehicle was current. I am not sure if the listing is still in the catalogue. Otherwise you would have to find an old catalogue or send them an email asking which part number to use.
Better still put an aftermarket ECU on it and then you won't have to worry about it ever again.

well the fuel cut is there because the little injectors are reaching their limit and are screaming their little heads off for mercy. well not that bad, but its there to stop you running lean where the injectors can't keep up. although my fuel cut doesn' till 16psi. tis a wierd one but make sure its not pinging when u put it on.

there full duty cycle on original TWO injectors and no pinging :D

maybe the rechipped part on the ecu acts as a fuel cut defender? 18psi and no pinging on standard injection! i'm jelous! although i could never figure out why i'm the only one that cuts at 16 instead of 10-11 like everyone else.

HK$$$$$ sux... hate that dam company for all its overpriced useless garbage they offer, especially way back in the day. $200usd FCD when $5 electronics do the same thing.

In the west, we put an adjustable boost compensating regulator downstream of the oe one to kick up the fuel pressure, giving considerable more capacity from oe injectors. Upgrade the pump also.

Does the boost sensor on the firewall trigger boost cut at a preset level? If so, I've seen us guys put an inexpensive regulator and guage in the sensing vacuum line, that holds the boost just under the cutoff. Seen one run 20+psi using this method.
