I pluged in everthing the manual said.

1. i plugged the apexi 3 bar map sensor in the power fc (next to the commander).

2. then i found the two factory turbo soloniods under the UIM and plugged in the Apexi soloniod in the socket that has a white dot on it (which is on the drivers side), and left the other factory turbo soloniod (passanger side) unplugged.

3. Then i removed the Stock map sensor and plugged in the new vaccum line from the apexi 3 bar map sensor to the UIM.

4. then i switched on the ignition to adjust the power fc so i went to pim volt to Choose option 1 on the commander.

5. everthing looked all fine but when i looked at the sensor check menu it (highlighted) the PIM, the voltage was at 4.84 which i know is bad so ......

6. i then checked the Monitor screen and the boost was showing +1.84 boost? this is insane........!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE CAR IS NOT EVEN STARTED 000 RPM..........!!!!!!!!!!!!! then i unplugged the 3 bar map sensor and it still displayed +1.84 boost. im confused??!?!?!?

7. So did i do anything wrong or is the Power fc f..cked...........!

8. Then i dicided to put everthing standard how they where to see what would happen. with all the factory parts(map sensor, two soloniods under uim & vacum lines, AND EVERTHING LOOKED OK WITH THE FC COMMANDER SHOWING - 0.43 BOOST ATMOSFERIC PRESS.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT WHY IS THE APEXI MAP SENSOR NOT SHOWING PROPERLY LIKE THE STOCK MAP SENSOR????????? why is it showing +1.84 boost when i choose option 1 on the pim with or without the 3bar map sensor.


i will show pics of the commander with the +1.84 boost soon

No help coming from me on the boost kit.. I don't have one. As far as it reading -.43 when you had it in stock set up without the boost control kit, that's normal and can be done away with with the datalogit. Change the offset and it will zero out. What's with the boost kit anyway? Plan on running over 17 psi? It's overkill, and Mike is also have problems installing his and getting it to control boost correctly.

Hooked it up wrong. The 3bar plugs into the stock harness where the stock map sensor used to be. The stock map sensor gets plugged into the side of the pfc with the small harness and gets left open to atmosphere.
