Re: boost + map sensor = HELP!!
whatsup, i dont know if you ever got the help you were looking for so, ...
as for the map sensor, oem honda map is good for 11 psi, but thats only if your running hondata or other programed ecu's that will read positive manifold pressure. otherwise anything over, usually 3psi, is recieved as a misreading map sensor, thus a code is thrown and fuel is dumped and timing adjusted...ect ect...(stalls studders and runs like crap). the stock ecu is just not programmed for positive pressure aka boost. it will give the sesor some leway up to a certain boost point, applications vary, after that u get the engine light. my kit included an 8lb limit as well, i found my missing link was useless after 5 or 6 psi. the only good solution that came out of a year of headaches was a hondata system and a good tune, unless you can find someone that can rig it, without running lean and getting detonation. good luck.

Jerms got that thing tuned a WHILE ago. This thread is years old.
Jerms helped me with my kit. Hahah.
