or you can use: http://www.mapecu.com the base model reads up to 30psi and that's what i'm using on my car. Make sure to get map-ecu 2 so you can control the timing.

For those who wish to run a MAP v MAF, tell everyone how you like it, how long have you used it, what mods you have, etc. etc.. You can't put something like that out there without more info

I have only been running it on my car for about 2 months now and so far i love it. We all know how maf really hates a small boost leaks, well you don't have to worry about it anymore because of the map. It is not very hard to hook up at all and it is almost like a piggyback. If you want more info: http://www.mapecu.com is your friend.Here is a quick simple list of my mod:Stock internals rb20detHomemade greddy style intake manifoldQ45 throttle bodyXS Power Top mount exhaust manifoldNismo FPRWalbro 255Venom 550cc injectorsTurbonetics t3/t43 inch intercooler pipe(Front Mount)3 inch downpipe and a dumptube.

I'm only running 6 psi right now and the idle is really good. it sits at a 1000 every morning. so far i would say, all the maf headaches are gone. Just ask if you got any more questions.

I read the info on the site prior to posting my question. That's a $600.00 piggyback..Only 6psi? IMHO a chip from someone like Carl would be WAAAY more cost effective and net the same gains for about 1/2 the price if not less..That's just my opinion, but for $600.00 you could have a Megasquirt that was full standalone, running that same MAP sensor and still have $200.00 in pocket, again just my opinion.

I'm only running 6 psi because i don't have a boost controller yet. Well i do but it's not installed. And i'm only running mapecu1 which is about $299.00 It has a map pressure up to 30psi. I just don't have any use of 30psi right at the moment.
