I had a hunch, but i wasnt sure. I actually just recently realized i had them. They were tucked into the back of the firewall. So they trick the map sensor into thinking that im running under 10psi of boost?

They trick the map sensor into thinking that you're not running boost at all...when you go past 1 bar(atmospheric pressure you'll get a CEL...soo it let's the map sensor think it's still under 1 bar....well it only bleeds of the pressure heheheheh
