13572, ok guys got the vc-2 today...
Posted by dsmark, Jan-16-02 07:58 AM
how do i hook the sob up...i know how but what color wire do i splice into coming out of the map?

and if anyone has any advice on what to do about the fmu i'd appreciate it.

its not the s-fmu, just the regular...boost line, fuel rail, and then what do i do about the return line to the tank and stock fuel regulator.

i'm sure this has all been asked before, but i'm new to the turbo stuff...thanks alot guys, u are da best.

blue wire from the vc2 goes closer to the map sensor
blue/red closer to the ecu...
so far no big problems with my vc-2

look for old post explaining the vc-1 and vc-2...
vc-1= soft clamp might cause cel
http://splitsec.com/
vc-2= hard clamp and its adjustable on my car no cel so far for this
get the vc-2 its only $86.13 ask them to set it to 4.7v if you like.

Your ECU will cut your fuel (on OBDII models) if it sees the MAP sensor signal positive manifold pressure. The VC1/2 are different types of clamps to theoretically prevent your ECU from seeing boost. I ran for 2-3 wks without any fuel cut prevention as well. Occasionally I'd get fuel cut, but most of the time I wouldn't. If you're not experiencing fuel cut, it's nothing to worry about.

it seems like the obd1 guys dont need a voltage clamp.
