Like whoa!!! ok let me see if I get this. Your turbo is building pressure and then you get a CEL Correct. What boost are you running?? Honda map sensors can only handle 8-10 PSI before they go limp mode. If this is your problem you need a missing link, some check valves or a stand alone ECU that uses a 3 bar map sensor (haltech, hondata, etc....)

hi thanks for the attencion
my problem is that i have dome my own kit and i think i forget something
i had run wicth the car at 0.3 bar (+/- 4 psi ) and engine ligth turn on

the missing link can resolve my problem ??

Is your map sensor good?? Test voltage and it all within specs even where it runs into the ECU plug. 1 bar is aprox 15psi (almost positive) so you should be able to run 0.5 bar and have no problems unless there is something else wrong. A missing link may cure your problem, I would suggest some cheep check valves to test that idea before buying a missing link. Check valves that they use with aquarium pumps can you get at any pet shop and are really cheep. Also can try another map sensor if you have a spare. Just a few ideas before you buy something you may not need

if your on a budget you can make a getto missing link , go get 2-3 check valves,t's and a vacuum hose. you can get the check valves at a fish store, petsmart for a few bux

Unless you have a aftermarket ecu you have to bleed the boost off of the MAP sensor. 2-3 check valves inline with your MAP sensor should work fine. The Honda MAP sensor will read up to 11.8 psi but your stock ecu won't know what to do with it.

missling link was designed for bleeding the map sensor, check valves are for fish tanks, but they work too, both should work
