might help to post pics of your setup - we could see any visible problems that way.

we tried a new map sensor yesterday, i'm runnin check valves (3), 255 walbro fuel pump (in-tank), stock injectors, stock ecu, vortech fmu. redzone is sending my chip out today and im gonna put on my 3bar map sensor and 440 rc injectors to run 12 lbs.

the map is on the tb like it obd 1. the bov, is T'd off the hose from the fpr & im. and the fmu is ran directly to the manifold ( center of the plenum ). and the check valves and boost gauge is ran off the back of the im #1 port.

hope that is clear enough.

you may just need more check valves...my room mate ended up with like 7 before his map stopped seeing boost.

This guy has 5 check valves on his. His site is pretty help full and you might find out some thing new or solve your problem.

i had the check valves in the vaccume but not where they have been. i have a tb that came off a gsr so the map sensor mounted to it. well i took the map off and ran the map through the check valves to the tb. some rookie *** **** though. but im still tring to figure the turbo **** out. i still have alot to learn.

btw: when install my 3 bar map sensor, will i be able to elimiate the check valves?
and can i run my 440s without a chip? (only for a couple days)

No your car wont run on 440's and stock chip, and yes when you get the 3 bar installed you can remove your check valves.
