Hey guys

Basically i have a greddy turbo kit on my D16y1(d16z6) Eg (92 - 95) Civic VTI. It is running a greddy piggy back ecu (looks to be wired into the map sensor) with a Td04 Turbo. now when comeing on full boost (7psi) the engine check light seems to come on, which (correct if wrong) seems to put the car into safe mode which seems to make the engine idol a little higher... It doesnt seem to be a very serious problem and all you have to do it turn off ignition and then restart and its gone!

When boosting it somewhat is slightly different. Sometimes i can Full boost all through 1st 2nd and 3rd gears in the cold and no check light? but sometimes i could be on the highway and be in a low gear and open throttle to about 3/4psi and the check light will come on?

Also i checked the ecu engine problem codes to which it came up with 3 flashes. ie 3 MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor

Any cheap quick and easy way of getting around this? i have had a few suggestions such as a map sensor to read more boost? possibly 3bar? or check valves? or even a piggy back comp such as a vafc / safc?

I never even knew that civic map sensors could read boost? what do they read standard?

Anyway maybe shoot some ideas my and and start a discussion about it, any help is very much appreciate and i dont mind shooting over some post credit points...

On further note the engine seems to ping getting higher revs and boost, also the little black piggy back greddy box wired into the map has a part number on it
