    although this does sound like a good idea, many people have told me that it can only handle 7 psi. even if you fix that, the stock MAP sensor is good up to 10 psi. that's at the limit where you can easily break the internal diaphram.

    anyone has seen this? http://www.efisystems.com/check.htm

    I'm using a GReddy Black Box and check valves together in my setup. Works like a top. I would recommend against using the "green" wire from the black box tho. It is supposed to run the mixture a little richer under boost by modifying the intake air temp. and coolant temp. sensor signals. I can't get it to work right. frown

    I think I might know someone who has an extra black box for ya G3-TEG. Let me hit him up today.

    No prob. dude. I'll give him a visit today. I'm pretty sure he has a few lying around.

    I use 2 check valves in my setup and NEVER once had the CEL come on. I even removed the check valves at one point and just used the black box. No CEL. I think what cq meant was that if you push more than 7psi or so into the stock MAP sensor the internal diaphram in the sensor will rip. I have heard this too, so I used both. Works perfectly and even with only 2 check valves.

    Thanks MarkC,
    That would be awesome.. so you think the stock MAP will only hold 7 psi? Can anyone confirm this?
    I guess using the black box with check valves would work pretty good..
    My check engine light kept coming on and sending the car into limp mode, which sucked @ss by the way.. (and scarey the first time it every happened haha)
    I was only running 3 check valves on 6psi.. now i'm running 5, problem solved, but don't really wanna have it happen any more.. check valves get expensive after a while haha..
    So the Black Box will resolve the MAP sensor problem 100%?

    Thanks

    Sweet, Thanks Markc

    Ya, let me know if you can find a box for me, that would be awesome... I heard that even with check valves (no box) if the MAP sensor sees ANY boost whatever (like .2psi even or whatever) that your car won't be running at 100%, is that true? so with the black box the MAP sensor doesn't see ANY boost so technically it should be running at 100% pential right?

    What's with the EFI systems check valve? Does anyone have more info on them? Their site doesn't say crap about them.
