Default Switching to Uber - JRSC MAP question

Since I'm making the switch, I'm selling my JR stuff. When I sell the MAP controller, should I keep the adaptor that feeds boost to the sensor, or should I go back to the stock configuration?

keep your map sensor reading from the manifold, not the throttle body. I had an SMC and swithced to UBER, best money I've ever spent.

It needs to measure pressure after the blower otherwise it wont see boost.

That little adapter that JR makes for the MAP controller is a nice piece, but you don't need it. Just hook a piece of hose off of the manifold directly to the map sensor. That's how the older Hondas did it. I did that with my JRSC and ran as high as 12 psi with no probs.

But how do I hook up a vacuum hose to the MAP sensor? I'd need some sort of adaptor.


I think I'll just keep the JR piece and sell the MAP controller without it.

You don't need an adapter. The map sensor itself has a nipple on the end. Plug that into a piece of hose. Plug the hose into a nipple on the manifold.
