I was just wondering if there was a way to do this? I have yet to buy EFILive FlashScan, but plan to do so within the next month. My goals are to eventually run an SD OS, and a mild twin turbo setup. I've never tuned anything before, so I've got a lot of reading ahead of me.
Yes you can, but you need to replace the stock MAP a 2 bar MAP senor so it will "see" the boost.
Or just get an external 2 or 3 bar map sensor and connect it to the 5V input on the Flashscan.

I'm new to tuning and have an STS powered SSS, I just got flashscan and have been doing alot of reading on all off what you guys have to offer. I want to log my boost and i have an autometer phantom boost gauge, can i just tap into the signal that the gauge recives and hook that up to flashscan or is there something more to it. TIA
What type of signal does the gauge receive? If it is just a voltage between 0 and 5 volts, then yes you can. You'd need to make up a calculated PID to convert the voltage into a boost value. If you can find out what voltage indicates what pressure value then it is fairly trivial to set up the calculated PID.Quote:

Thanks for the reply blacky, i'll check into this more and see what i find out.
As long as the input impedance of the A/D chip in the Flashscan is high compared to the source impedance of the sender, there shouldn't be a problem.Quote:

2 bar map GM PN 12580698 was a direct replcement for my truck. I would think it is on the cars as well. The one on the left is stock and the right is 2 bar.
