my car was just turbocharged, and damn is it fast!! but my only problem is the map sensor, which trips every time i hit boost. how can i fix this?? i want it to pull smooth all the way to redline. help me out, im real good with my hands and anything you tell me to do i will be able to. also, how much boost can i run safely through a stock motor, other than the turbo setup and the short shifter, the car is pretty much stock. help me out. ill post pictures soon.

They say you should only run 8-12 psi to be safe. i have a inline fuel pump and I run 15psi on stock just because I have a new motor ready to go in. The map, what you need is a few parts from the pet store. You need a plastic vacume fitting with 4 ends so it looks like this TT. Next you need some vacume line and two one way tetras they allow vacume to go only one way. now you have everything to trick your map.To hook it up- The far left On the fitting will be your vacume inlet On top, the bottom left will be your tetra (make sure you have it facing the right way so it can blow out not suck in), next to that on the bottom right will go to your map, and the top right will go to another tetra.
I used this set up manny times and it always works will cost you 5 or 6 bucks. Tetra is the brand name of the one way valve
Or you could spend 50 or 50 bucks on a missing link.
hoped this helped, go blow some boost…
thanks alot, the guy that did my turbo did that the next day and my map has no idea that im running boost, now, can u help me out on injectors and a s-afc?? i really dont want the thing running lean, where can i get em?? cheap if possible
How much boost you running? What kind of fuel pump are you using? Are you using a fmu?
dude, stock fuel pump, stock injectors. in the process of buying 450cc injectors and a S-AFC. all i have in the way of fuel is a B&M command flo fuel pressure reg. help me out, im doing this on a budget, and remember, i drive this car every day
HOW HUCH BOOST!
oh and by the way, its set at 7 psi. i dont change it, though i might run 9 at the trach this weds. good idea or no??
talk to me… u have aol? if so, im me, my sn is keepitinyerpants
Do not waste your money on injectors or an s-afc. Get a vorte cfmu off ebay for around 50 bucks. Then get a inline fuel pump. With thoes two things you can run a SAFE 10psi all day. Depending on the milage of you motor.
running 10psi on stock injectors is playing with fire, actually at this point its past playing with fire, you’ve set the house on fire. Aquarium check valves are used for aquariums, not turbocharged cars, if you don’t know that then you need to ask yourself why you want to run a turbo, is it for the image or the performance?

ok…let me get this straight…you’re trolling on here, saying your running 15psi on a stock block, using aquarium check valves, running 12.8, with nothing to back yourself up? I guess we’re just supposed to take your word for it. I’m not the one that shouldn’t be opening his mouth.
I think somebody has watched the fast and the furious one to many times…

Agreed. Show us pics after you drive it for a while.

dude you need to shut the fück up…
People do use check valves and they do work, I choose missing link, personally the check valves seem to give trouble on and off.
Now new guy with the turbo you shouldn’t even be boosting with out adding extra fuel into the mix at the very least.
FMU is good for about 6psi - 8psi though you will perhaps ruin your injectors after awhile to much pressure! you will definitely need a inline fuel pump.
With decent tuning you can safely boost 10 -12psi checkout www.hondata.com or zydyne I wouldn’t waste my money on the afc hack you can get hondata for not much more. Don’t go to the track unless you have got the fuelling taken care of:bang:
yea i want to watch to i will crack open a beer with ya.

good advice…but for those of us with 90-91 Tegs Zdynes run over $1000 plus the cost of injectors, and AFCs are more than sufficient for low boost street applications…
what kind of beer is gonna be there? i may join in. seeing haberdasher’s set-up on his site, i would tend to go with his advice over someone who is running 12.8 with a set-up we no nothing about. back to the show…
