When my map sensor went bad, it was right on with my boost gauge still, even while guessing.

But still not a bad idea.

William what did your truck do when your map was bad? First we thought it was am over boost kind of deal and fuel cut but I dint believe that's it. Zero fluctuation on ipr and icp. I'll try the map sensor though thanks.
Not sure if I said it yet but I have a diablo chip I'm there now just fpr testing and my truck is Ibcredibly fast. Faster than the dp as it was and it doesn't have the cut out and I get about 25-26lbs of boost. Very low smoke. For a generic tuner it hauls! But it gets very hot so I keep goofing off to a minimum. Not as fast as it was with the dp and engine light on.
