its really easy.... just find the map wire (yellow with black stripe) and cut the wire the end coming from the ecu goes to the green wire on the black box and the wire thats coming from the map sensor goes to white wire on black box. the red wire goes to power and black to ground.

okay i understand the wiring now, but i have the s afc 2 also , so will that map sensor bypass thing affect me tuning with the s afc, or would it be better to just leave in the map sensor and tune with the s afc2.

I say eliminate one more possible electrical problem while you can, and get a Missing Link MAP Sensor check valve from Group5Motorsports.com. you wont regret it. if you do stay wit hthe one that came with the STAR kit, id take some liquid electrical tape and coat the whole circuit inside the box with it. thats what i did, cause mine sure did rattle a lot. www.TeamKLR.com 1997 Silver RS Wiseco 8.8:1 Pistons(back to low compression!)
