I'm sure it been posted that the tune can keep over boost code away but still can damage the map sensor. I believe Tugly posted this. Just to put it out there again.

Ask Rich. He changed his out because he said boosting to high damaged it. So he since installed the fooler from Clay.

That's happened with a post of mine?

Heh heh heh....does that mean a new avatar for me?



No...I'd have to change my first name to something that starts with a "P" if I did that. No bueno.

I don't think it was yours, your member name was right there so I used it as an example.

I didn't see that mentioned above?
Thanks for reminding me, I fixed it.

Yeah... 160 HP bump on a bigger turbo with all the air mods did the MAP sensor in. I now have to run a separate analog boost gauge to see the upper limits of boost and I protect the MAP sensor with a fooler, but I still get all my detailed boost readings from the OBDII port.

I've heard of one other person who lost a MAP sensor, but I don't know the circumstances.
