i have an 01 supercharged zo6, and i want to monitor boost w/ efi, how do i go about doing this, do i need another map?, need all the info i can get thanks alot

Welcome to the forum Turboolds.
You should be able to log manifold pressure to monitor boost - but it won't work so well if you still have a 1bar MAP sensor installed. Can you tell us a little more about your setup?
i still have stock map, the car is supercharged, novi setup, intercooled, how do i convert manifold pressure to boost?
MAP - BARO is the simplest way. However, since you're running the stock MAP sensor, it tends to run out at 105 kPa (~5 kPa over sea level). You would need to upgrade to a 2 or 3 bar MAP sensor to utilize this method.
well... i have used the 2 bar map sensor.. how do we go about this??? I can log over 105 KPA, but is there a calculated PID that does the conversion to PSIG?
Thanks

I would assume you would have make a calculated PID with PSIG = KPA/ 6.895
I have posted a calc pid file on this forum which will do what you want. Here is the thread. http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?t=9598

well.. what i did was... {sae.map.psi}-14.7
what i really wanted was something correctly referenced... Like if there was a pid to ask the PCM for the map at key on. That way you can substract THAT. and not the 101.3 or 14.7 in this case. Because if I install an incorrect map sensor and the scaling is incorrect... i have no way of knowing either.
This comes after logging a E38 which i get 7psi boost calculated, but I am getting 10psi on the gauge....
