looks like a missing link you dont need it with crome, only time you would use that is with a fmu.

ok i am going to drive about 200-500 miles to break the motor in... new rebuild and new clutch. before i go get it tuned on a dyno. so my question now is should i run that thing that goes on the map sensor til i get it tuned.....

my plan is to keep it out of boost til i get it tuned and til i break the motor in.

no you dont need to run it at all. The stock map sensor will by fine without the missing link until the tune. If you plan to run more than 12psi then i would get a larger map sensor instead of running the missing link

Still on stock injectors? Do you have a chipped ecu with a basemap? The stock map can only read boost with a chipped ecu, if the stock ecu reads boost from the map it will go into safe mode. I would aslo keep it under 10 psi on the stock map.

I would keep it under ZERO psi, with the stock map and Injectors. . .
