Anyway, a map sensor, does just that. *Manifold Air Pressure* sensor (i think thats right), anyway, sensors how much pressure (or vac) is in your manifold.

this then has a map within the ecu in which it can pick out, dependant on boost / vac, and inject the correct about of fuel (well, if the ecu is tuned well lol). MMMM to incorrect fuel maps _b

yep that's right Cozmo you're right about the name - senses the manifold/boost pressure - sends message to ecu - etc :)

point is, we cant completely understand what your saying, bud.

seriously man, saying *theres one wire left, where does it go*... dosnt help, where is the one place that hasnt got something plugged in?

we can answer questions we know the answers to.... we cant answer questions like *whats behind my back!*

nothing :P

there is a difference between a boost MAP and N/A map sensor tho, one reads vacuum and one reads boost :P

you cannot run a non boost pressure reading one on a turbo/S/C setup.

this is exactly what I meant in your first post about how I doubt you have the intelligence required to twin charge anything, even a car that's already twincharged! Seriously, you must be very naive if you think you have the skills required to plan out and then implement a workable system. But if you're lucky you might fluke it, or someone else might do it all for you.

hey man you are for getting i amnot doing the twin chargeby myself. a machanic is working with me on the project. he has done it befor and is keen to try another one.and i do know anything about engines (machanicaly) i just finished rebuilding my 4agze. i just arn't all the way with the technical electrical crap. this is my second modern car i have owned so its a change. i'm used to working on old skool holdens vallents and chevs. which dont have electrical shit. just a distributor.

The wire that is hanging is beside the altinator, its not for the altinator. and i cant find any were for it to go.

Geoff Christie had his twin charged rally Corolla so that would be my guess of who it is.
