Default Planning to boost 9lbs on my turbo kit will i need a new map sensor?

Will my stock map sensor hold up? Or boosting at 9lbs is it gonna read all that boost?

Hondata says "The stock Honda MAP sensor can see 11 lbs boost."

Whether or not you want/need a missing link depends on your planned engine management setup. What are your plans???

you have to have a map sensor to read boost, but not a 3 bar.

a missing link bleads off the boost so your map sensor doesnt see it. these work great so your ecu doesnt go limp. but w/hondata it reads the boost, not freak out from it. if you use a missing link it wont think your boosting and not give you enough fuel.

The missing link is a check valve that will prevent the stock MAP sensor from seeing boost. This is useful in applications where the stock ecu must be prevented from sensing boost. In a Hondata setup, the ecu uses the MAP sensor to sense boost.

The fact that you asked something like this means you need a small piece of advice: don't buy a single part until you have a full understanding of what these various components do and how they work.
