Turbo Problem
ok so my car runs fine until I boost after which when I try to accelerate from a dead stop the car like struggles and I need to have my pedal to the floor so it starts to accelerate. But if I turn the car off and then back on its fine. So my guess is that the map sensor is seeing the boost and then making my car run retarded but I have a missing link peice installed so I don't know how this could be. This is the missing link peice i'm using and i installed it exactly how its pictured with the big opening on top.

Re: Turbo Problem (nicktagz)
there's a little gasket on the manifold side of the map sensor, the little gasket goes on top of the bypass(see the groove there?)
check to see if you put it on the wrong way, sometime when you have a bad gasket(esp. when you put it in the wrong way and force it in), it will act weird due to the leak.
that's how my old bypass valve works, if you still can't get rid of the problem, try to use fishtank check valves, put three in a series by using plastic tee's

If you have a missing link the map sensor is not seeing boost... the missing link masks boost from the MAP sensor. Its probably not an issue with the missing link or the map. Check other things, fuel, vaccuum lines, etc. The honda ecu (with stock map) should be able to see 11psi. Get rid of the missing link and fmu if you have one and go with a chipped ecu and tune. Stop wasting time troubleshooting these peices of junk.
Trust me its how i blew a piston ring. Get a real tune asap and dont boost till then.
