what code is it? ull know if your map see too much boost. limp mode....

i noticed idle surge back in the day when i rocked check valves, but only when it was cold out... it makes sense, just an annoyance..
do it right and chip and get injectors.. theres plenty of bins out there id rock any day over an fmu. even if ur too cheap to tune.

well at least you obiously searched, lol, this thread is older than dinosaur ----. are you're check valves all run in series? theres really no reason that you should need 12, and shopping at a pet store for turbo related equiptment probably isnt such a goog idea IMO. There really is no excuse to chip ur ecu and run some sort of real management, moates sells the chip kit for $15.

Ok this may sound dumb but wouldnt a missing link be more effective and economical to use than 12 check valves. I mean you only need one right ? I see them going for like $20 shipped. IMO if i were to ever boost a honda i would go the chipped ecu route, chipping kits are so cheap for hondas and every one sells them, you try looking for a chipping kit for a toyota ecu. Lmao
