Default Using a Check Valve for my MAP sensor... still throwin a CEL

Here's my situation... If i stay below 5 psi I'm good. But if I really rev it out to 6,800 at 5 psi the CEL light pops on. I know it goes into limp mode and it's because of the map sensor seeing boost. My question is... If i get another check valve or 2... or even 3 more and tee them off of the map sensor vacuum line will this solve my problem? I'm thinking the boost pressure is too much for the single check valve to handle.

I think if your not using a missing link then you need to use multiple check valves

that's what I figured... I just wanted to see if anyone else had any insite. They're like $4 a piece... So figure I'll get 2 more and see if that solves things

Make your life easy & look into uberdata tuning.

I think you need 3 of those fish tank check valves to make that setup work. Don't quote me on that though. I read a "how-to" about a year ago or so before I decided to go with Uberdata.
