I'm a noob at this and wanted some insight. If you were to turbo an Non-Turbo car that's using MAF system, will you have stalling issues since it doesn't compensate for elevation & temperature differences? How can you fix this?

I read this from another forum and got confused.

Piggyback fuel unit. It poses problems such as having to manually compensate for temperature, and altitude changes. I for one went the standalone route with my MAS based car and had a local SoCal tuner take care of that. On my MAP based turbo car, it was tuned with a SFMU, EGT, and Wideband. To this day it makes good/usable power without any issues, or having to constantly fidgit with fuel pressure or rise rate.

 

Most cars that use a MAF sensor have the BOV recirculated to the intake(before the MAF). If this is not done, venting air that's already been metered to the atmosphere usually results in stuttering/stalling.

 

So what's my tuning option if a Standalone computer is not available for my car? 2006 Civic DX.

If I just install the turbo kit, it will run like crap/random stalling/etc.. because it's not tuned right? And since AEM doesn't have anything for the 06+ model year civic, what can I do if I turbo the car?

 

depends on where the MAF sensor is. if it is right at the TB then it doesn't matter if the BOV gets recirculated or not. Otherwise, yeah there may be issues.
