Are you using a stock MAP sensor, and what boost level are you reaching? Stock MAP sensors will trigger a MAP CEL at 10-14psi of boost, depending what sensor it is.

You need to learn to form clear, and easy to read sentences if you want to ask help regarding technical questions. People here can help you but will ignore you if they have a hard time reading your post.

You're using 240cc injectors with 13psi because you only have 550's? Get ready to pull the motor. Killing MAP sensors? Buy a 12 pack.

Could it be that your friend did not completely tell you the thruth about the map sensor?

Ignore the sarcasm, I'm having a tough day You need to fix those issues so you can enjoy boosting. I suggest turning down the boost, get a tune for the 550's. You wont even need an upgraded fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator if you keep it at 13psi.

10 psi is fun and you are within the safe zone of the map sensor unless altitude and temp cases issues with your boost controller.

Yea, after reading your PM to me because I answered your question with a reasonable reply, I'd say you're having a very bad day... Might be time to log off and go have a beer Jason.

Have a nice night...

ECU is setup to run 13psi & your running how much? If that ecu is not your exact setup then of course its going to cause problems. You need to get the car tuned for 'your' setup.. even similiar setups are different.. Just a heads up. We map the tune & see what it does then.
