Well well well guess what! I got the turbo kit on my RS. But its not running right. For some reason Ive got a check engine light on for the MAP sensor. Its saying to high of voltage. Yes I do have the missing link on it. But the CEL was on before the missing link was put on. Im thinking the S-AFC is doing it. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Anywho with the MAP freaking out the ECU is dumping way too much fuel so I had to put the stock fuel pump back in just so it would run. Also when it spools up it seems to be loosing boost somewhere either the couplers or out the BOV I cant seem to place it. I figure first thing is first fix the MAP problem then I can get to the boost creep after finding that replace the fuel pump and start tuning again. OH KOU I do still want the side mount IC if its still for sale.
I did purchase a wide band O2 with a digital read out on it so I could tune the car to perfection. It will log 44 min. and will hook up to a computer for close analysis. Cant wait for this toy to come in.
Well if anyone has any ideas or would like to check it out with me please let me know. I NEED BOOST!

Im no guru or anything, but if you have a boost leak after the MAF you would probably be running rich and may even throw a code. That is why they tell you to recirculate the BOV. Your MAF is reads how much air is passing through it. It then adjusts the gas mixture to match (approx.). If you are leaking air after the MAF then you computer is expecting more air then you are getting. I would approach this problem with fix the mechanical problem (leaking) first. Then if that doesn't fix it, try the electrical. It may all be steming from your boost leak. I could be wrong though.
