Default map sensor question

Im planning on running mild boost in my b18c5 up to 12psi. Do I need to change the map sensor or can i just buy the missing link?

You can use the missing link with a fmu. I don't think 12 psi can be considered mild boost on a b18c5 though. Are you running stock compression?

Ka-boom!

Uh, hold off on boosting and lurk the forum for a couple weeks. Pay special attention to, and use the search function for, threads concerning engine management, and how exact you have to be tuning a high CR turbo setup.

You've basically asked a question that tells me you lack information I could type for a couple hours and not fully impart to you. Be patient, give yourself the time to do the research you need to do, ask a few Q's here and there for help, and you'll have a nice ride. The alternative is shitting a very expensive C5.

You're asking about missing links and how much your stock MAP sensor can read, it's a good sign you're not sure of what is going on and what you need. Do the research, or find a reputable place to assist you and help with your tuning.
