Hi, I'm working on my turbo build...
I have a Power Commander III, that usually is wired to TPS(good on NA, SC), but with turbo I will wire it to a map.

It's a good idea use MAP and not throttle body?

thank you

I would use both if possible. Works better with turbo applications. I have had great results with AFM Link box.

I know that there are other products, but I have the PCIII from a precedent supercharger build, so I want to use it:D
I have a innovate lc-1 so I'll report results in a few weeks. I need to find a MAP

Don't know how you are going to make it, but seems to me PC III is designed for bikes?

MAP sensors can be found from several vechiles. Don't know where you live, but i suppose they can be found from local parts dealer easily. I suggested to buy a sensor which can handle at least 3.0 bar. I have used 2,5 bar sensor and it was good enough for 360 hp.

That PCIII seems to be interesting idea, have to study it bit closer.

Italy:D
I checked on ebay.de, ebay.co.uk, and ebay.it and there are used MAPs for cheap:rolleyes:


I start to think that will be a huge work to create maps for MAP with powercommander, and without a dyno :D

I suppose a suitable MAP sensor can be found from Opel Vectra (B-series) quite chap even if you buy a new one.
