Default car sputters after a few gears of boost

hey all i have a 99 b16 with a custom turbo set up on it, currently i am running a vafc and RC 440s, i do have a missing link, and am running 12psi, on a t3t4.

after i blast about 3 gears, my car throws a map sensor code.....i dont know why because i am running 12psi, with a missing link..

someone told me that it was because the vafc is pulling or pushing too much fuel, but i dont know.

i know there are hondas out there running more boost than me without standalone, so what am i to do??????

All I can suggest, is to get rid of that setup and invest in a Hondata S100. I know it's not the answer your looking for but it is what I would suggest. Spend the money now or spend it later.

Does the car sputter/run horribly until you turn it off, then on again? If so, it's definitely your map sensor. I don't know why it would be coding if you're using a missing link, then again I have no experience with missing links. You can always pick up a GM 3bar MAP.

yeah after i cut it off then on again, its fine....does a GM 3bar work on a stock set up? i didnt think they did, im not sure if the factory ecu, can read anymore than 1 bar, but im not really @ 1 bar yet, so i dont know what to do.

i know i should get some hondata or something of that sort, but i need a temporary fix to get me by
