I want a good one, I going to be paying a lot for the turbo so I would like one thats going to do its job. Also civic01vtec, did you throw any check engine lights when you installed your kit?

I would like to get a electronic one.

well, if you want a good mbc.......u can get the turbo xs dual stage.....ohmysac's is a good one too, it is the same one catalyst uses and a few others.

electronic ones........ apex'i avc-r, greddy profec-b or greddy e-01.......but expect to pay 300-500 for these.

yes, i have a CEL........b/c i don't have my IAT sensor hooked up

Is the Iat sensor the same thing as the map sensor missing link?

no, IAT is the Intake Air Temp. sensor that is mounted in ur stock air box or intake pipe. SF doesn't give u a hole for this, so most of us just ties it off.

right, but some off us aren't sure if the rubber gromet will hold and won't blow out. One member (HTOWNBOY) used resistors or sumtin to trick the sensor, but i forget what. Guns knows about it.

I made a DIY on how to use the stock IAT with the SF kit. All you really need is some sandpaper, a drill, a bit, and a pipe tap. Mine's just the way it was when I first installed the sensor. And it did help my car.
