I have obd1 p28, who can get me uberdata? I ould love to give it a try. I cant spend anymore money on this car even though I want to do this right. about the acf being shitty its just impression everone gives me on if I'm rebuilding with all these expensive parts, and the afc is not good enough? does uberdata works with afc? what specific car do I 2-3 bar map sensor?

I understand that you already did some trimming and spent money on the AFC. But if you think about it, you'll save more if you do not blow up your built engine due to lack of tuning. Remember, the VAFC was originally not meant to compensate with boost. Even APEXi denies the "hack". I call them fockers myself. I felt like an idiot.

right I'm thinking that 20 psi is too hard/expensive, so what I want to do now is get a way around the map sensor, and boost to the limit of the vafc, hopefully I can find a place where I can wideband tune.

Remember that the suitability of a component in your set-up really is despendant on what you're trying to achieve. Apex'i makes a quality product that is cheap and has it's purpose. However, if you're trying to build a 20+ psi motor, it would be asenine to have your fuel management be the weak link. Don't make that mistake like my friend did, do things right and save money in the long run.
It's just like my tyrus intercooler. I have heard some people make negative comments about them because they don't support 500hp. Of coursed they don't, so they're not well suited for a car that has 500hp, but a $1000 intercooler is not well suited for a car pushing 225 hp either. It goes both ways.

as I say before! thinking of how much trouble it is to get 20 psi safely, I will wait till I can afford a better management, and for now run with safest amount above 12 psi on the vafc, I just need a 3 bar map sensor right now, and tune it to a safe level, thinking about the competition here I only need 200hp but I would love to 400+

I was bummed to find out I built a motor and was only gonna be able to boost 12psi. I just decided to go turbo edit with a great tune at 12psi and go from there. Who's to say 12 psi won't keep me happy anyway? Even that might be too much for traction issues, so ---- it, go for 11-12 with a good tune and feel good that you built the motor. There will be a next level, try the first level first, though. IMO

sorry rudebwoy, I wasn't trying to be a bitch about it or anything, I would just hate to see you make the same mistake my friend made!

I think I will be fine with 11-12psi maybe the car can't even handle that because traction issues, with a 48 turbine and 60 compressor its not even worth it should have a very fast take off, how long it will last I was kicking *** with a none turbo motor, then I was tearing up the street on 5 psi, so now if I succesfully run 12 psi, I have no competition in Germany, there only a few in my league that will run next to me, and all they use is nitrous, 400 plus whp is my deam so 20psi I will get there someday, but not today, thanks for the inputs and opinions
