Setup Questions?

Ok I'm a real noob just to let everyone know. Ok I've been looking at pictures of people's setups and stuff ok. I noticed that some people don't a have a wiring harness or anything. How is this possible? Like no MAF sensor or anything just a pipe and an inake to the turbo. I thought you needed you MAF sensor for the car to run?

When people convert to standalone EFI systems, the wiring harness is a lot smaller and easily hidden. Most standalones also use a MAP sensor to measure the current load on the engine, not an airflow meter like the stock system does.

be warned this is not a simple "plug and play" type of thing
MicroTech and Haltech are proven time and time again
megasquirt is picking up with the budget crowed.
or MoTec if you have money.
