    That is the wrong one. That one is for adapting the stock mdp sensor port to threaded. You will want this one. I am using it currently.

    You don't need a map sensor for ECU controlled boost. It's airflow based from the factory. After playing with both setups for months I've found the stock setup is the best because it's targeting the best torque curve for the car and not just pressure in the intake.

    The other issue with boost based boost control is map sensors can only go off absolute pressure and not relative pressure. What this means is as you change elevation/temperature the power is inconstant as the airflow is always changing. The only reason I run a map sensor in my car now is for the stock boost gauge and some other development projects I'm working on.

    Yeah...it's too much fun. Forced upgrade to new output shaft and transfercase that I might as well do now haha.

    I can't wait to finish breaking in Em's stealth so we can get this thing turned up. Right now it's running great on our billet turbos at 8 psi with stock fuel injectors. It had no problem building 8 psi (boost controller limited) with the launch control set at 5000 rpms.

    So is the version with launch control out yet?

    Still waiting for my ecu to get back so I still haven't experienced the "chromed" life...

    No. I handed it out to a few people to beta test it.

    Greg, I'm only on page 45, but I'm trying to figure out everything on a 1G. The Map is for the boost gauge only? Trying to figure out the correct harness to get. How far can the stock NBO2's go?
