whats the difference between the boost sensor and tps sensor ? whats the boost sensor do and whats he advantage using the boost sensor instead of tps ?

i thought fc's had mass air flow sensors. i thought thats what my s5 had, the plunger type on the intake. and s4's had some kind of honey comb flapper type? dont quote me, im a newb

the reason that you would want/need to use the boost sensor instead of the tps (at least on s4) is that the tps is narrow band. meaning that the tps signal maxs out at about 1/2 open throttle. the boost sensor would then be used to adjust the fuel curve realitive to boost instead of throttle. you need to tap the output wire on the boost sensor (consult factory service manual) instead of the tps. then you can use the throttle % setting on the safc to pick how much boost it needs to switch from low to high fuel curves. if all of this is too complex for you, you need to find some help from someone locally that is experienced with this.

interesting... i had never heard of this...
so using the MAP sensor would be more reflectant to engine load rather then TPS right?
will the AFC II go retarded when the MAP is reading vacuume (like negative TPS % on the output)
when ur boosting beyond stock boost.. does the MAP sensor keep rising too? like is there a cap where the MAP sensor is no longer accurate? say 15psi for example?

Hrng. RTFM, chaps.
Answering a few of the questions I see:
No, the AFC will not see "negative TPS" in vacuum. For an (ideal) pressure sensor capable of reporting 1ATM of boost, you'll see 0v at full vacuum, 2.5v at atmospheric, and 5v at 1ATM of boost. So it won't confuse the AFC.
A MAP sensor is rated for a given pressure. It will "peg out" at that pressure, and won't be of any use beyond that. So, if you have a NA pressure sensor, it won't read much into boost. If you have a pressure sensor rated for 1 ATM of boost, and try getting it to read 25lbs of boost, you're not going to get anything meaningful past 14-17psi.

You have to look deeper...
TPS's have a 0-5v output. So does the stock FC boost sensor - the range will ALWAYS be between 0-5v. That's what originally gave me the idea to tap into the boost sensor instead of the TPS.
The 86-88 FC's have a narrow-range TPS that shows full open at about 25% throttle. That's pretty useless when it comes to tuning. Using the boost sensor you can get a full range input - vacuum to atmospheric on an NA, vacuum to boost on a TII.
Some DSM guys found that they could tune the car in better and get smoother driveability using a MAP sensor instead of the TPS, BTW.
Oh, "MAP" and "boost sensor" are totally interchangeable terms. "Boost sensor" is just Mazda's name for the part, but it's fundamentally a MAP sensor. The stock ECU uses it in lieu of a vacuum advance on a distributor - since the ignition system is totally electronic, it needs a manifold reference for determining the proper ignition timing. That's why NA's have the boost sensor as well. The boost sensor does NOT affect fuel at ALL - that's why we have airflow meters, the AFM gives the ECU all the input it needs for providing fuel.
