My job is boring to I think about turbos all day. Today I was thinking about MAP sensors for a couple hours and came to the following conclusions:

1-an engine will always take the same volume of air into the cylinder (excluding resonances)

2-the density of the air varies with throttle position

3-at certain RPMs resonances will force more/less air into the cylinder

4-MAP sensors measure the density of the air being drawn in

5-MAP sensors do not measure load, but just give one (of several) variable required to calculate load

my computer sucks alot!
