Yep, as soon as the MAP reads positive pressure around a lbs of boost, it will shut the fuel/ignition down. Run a few check valves inline, I used to run 6 on my other car.

you can get the check valves at any pet store or store that sells aquarium accessories...There about 1 dollar a piece..Just got to any pet store and ask them..They'll know what your talking about...There used on fish tanks...

if you can afford it get a missing link, the check valves work but it looks kinda crappy, i still have my check valves on my car, and cant wait to get a missing link, i had to run 3, on my car. its so easy to hook up you should have no problems.
as for the guys at pet stores knowing what your talking about, i called three big pet stores and they were like" huh check valve? is that a pump?" so i just had to go and look myself.
