61782, Missing link bypass
Posted by ForceFed, Oct-19-03 12:59 AM
Hey Guys,

Just need your opinions here. On 7 PSI of boost, is it necessary to intall a missing link to trick out the barometer sensor so it won't cut fuel on me when the ECU reads a heighten barometric pressure in the plenum?:cheers

i dont know anything about a barometer sensor or barometric pressure or plenums but i do know that if you dont have a missing link and you get fuel cut because of boost, you need a missing link. the missing link replaces the hrc black box among other types of fuel cut denfenders. good luck.

you need a missing link or similar device any time you have over 0 vac, so yes with any boost you need it
our ECU's will flip out if the map sensor sees any boost

I thought so. But you know what else just for the heck of it, I wonder if the ECU is programmed to have a threshold until the MIL lights up. Who knows.....
Thanks alot!!
