no check valves and no cels?
I am running 10 psi on my d16z6, with a 14b. I never installed any check valves, and I have yet to get a cel?
Is this normal for my engine? Everything I have read says you need to install check valves when running boost or, your car starts throwing cels.

yep the factory MAP is a 2 bar, 1 bar of vacuum and 1 bar of boost and yes 1 bar is like 14.2 or something but, hondas seem to pick it up right at the 11.5-12.0 psi level, sometimes the internal diaphragm in the eom sensor will tare and cause issues but ran my factory one all the way to 16 when i had the missing link!

Re: no check valves and no cels? (Mr_Bojangles)
Thanks for the new information.
I am running the V-AFC Hack right now. I will be switching to neptune at the end of the month, I wouldn't imagine it would have any problems with CELs if the hack doesn't.
