Tricking the MAP sensor!! Im installing a custom turbo kit this winter and i need to know if theres a way to trick the map sensor into thinking that the engine is still running stock air pressure? I need answer quick.
I suggest an aftermarket ECU and full dyno mapping if your going to go turbo. Turbos are not that simple. If you want to do it right, there should be no "tricking" going on. Just my opinion.

Don't you think you kind of being a smart a$$. If someone is wrong, then let them know it, and why they are, perhaps they can defend themselves, because perhaps you are the one that is a dumba$$

No - for some reason there has been a glut of morons that have flooded this board recently. I don't know why - but it is starting to suck.
When you suggested to get a new ECU - well, if you would do some research and search the board, you would see that none are available for this car. Randomly throwing stuff out like this is what pisses me off - because it is misinformation.
If you do not know things that will help, than post to another message. I'm not trying to be an @sshole - just stating the honest truth.

you find one and ill never second guess u again, and u think that any ECU is going to run on our car, im glad u think that, ive looked, bc if it was out there i would have had it a long time ago, the closest thing ive even come to is a remapped stock ECU that was going to be done on the side by a recent employee of skunk2. and that is the closest. so once again, u do the searching for us all and let us know when u locate a company that makes full replacement ECU for our car that keeps everything else running too

For people who have been on the board for a while, we know which members to actually listen to if we need advice. People who are new don't know who is talking BS and who actually knows their stuff. So problems like this thread come up.
I should have locked it when I moved it....
