No it wouldnt. Pre 00 aeb motors dont have MAP sensors.

Yeah, but if I use APR software and then use a boost controller, won't I run lean unless I find a way to get more fuel into the engine?

Thanks bro,

no, thats what this mod is for. it keeps the map from seeing whats going on so that the maf can adjust your fueling to keep you stoich

this will remove the over boost safety that the map sensor is used for, this means if you over boost for any reason it might cause major engine damage.

the ecu can NOT adapt afr under full load. The ecu is not adjusting injector pulse width off the primary o2 sensor voltage at this point. Also the lower load value will result in an incorrect base timing value that the ecu may not be able to compensate for.

wondered why my nuts were hanging so low lately, i looked down, HEY KARL!

There is nothing wrong with this method. I stand by what i have said 100 times already. Im not buying a chip for my stock turbo when i go back to BT. Makes no sense.

Wow, this actually seems doable. I'm hoping to get it set up in New York when I return. My plan is to do this, but to be really really careful with how much boost I run. Probably try it with just a pound or two more than APR's software allows gradually building up to the figures CINCY gave.

Best,

JPF

if you have a chip you dont need to do this. This is a chip alternative. If you have a chip just up the boost to 20psi and your good.
