Under 11.3 psi you stock map sensor will be fine.

Once I installed my VAFC, I took out my Missing Link. I don't get CELs under boost(6-9 psi) using the stock Map Sensor.

Too many noobs asking stupid questions...read the FAQ.
You don't need a check valve...if you're using a VAFC or SAFC with 450cc injectors...that's called the hack.
And 2 or 3 bar map sensor won't do you any good unless you got your ECU chipped and using Turboedit or UBerdata
