Default 2bar Map sensor from Zdyne

I bought my zdyne with a 2bar map sensor. I hooked up everything but the map sensor just to see how everything would run.... I am running a 14b on a ZC. Currently with the stock map sensor I am running 10psi boost. 10psi is not enough for me and I want to crank it up to 14psi. I've installed the 2bar map sensor and configured the ecu. My problem is I cant get the car to idle. I have to keep my foot on the accelerator and keep the rpm's at 1000. As soon as I take my foot off, the car dies. I've tried running different programs and that is the best result. The program I am running now was from Ricky Crow, tuned to 180ish HP. The car runs fine with the stock map sensor, as soon as I recalibrate the computer, I cant get the car to rev past 1500, and that is with the accelerator on the floor!!
Is there a problem with the map sensor itself?? Is there any way to test the map sensor?? Have any of you had this problem?? What should I do next? I've contaced zdyne, and they do not respond to my emails....

I've checked and rechecked the wiring, it is wired correctly according to the zdyne instructions....

I haven't ever heard of one satisfied Zdyne customer as far as support goes; nothing but complaints.

OH I know, they are sure quick to take your money, the least they could do is offer support. But what do they care, they are already paid....
