who wants to get more hp m111?
Ok everybody i have tested this mod for about 1 month and now i will share
with everybody.
there is a way to increase boost by tricking ME(engine computer).
1) Open your hood
2) remove front and rear engine top covers.
3) locate MAP sensor black sensor with 3 wires going to main harness.
4) cut wire that has brown stripe.
5) solder inline 4000 ohm wire and use shrink tubes to cover open wire.
After that your ME will see 2psi boost, thus no limit for boost

Yes, I would like to know how you found out.
Constant boost would likely result in lower mileage.
I potentiometer could be interesting.... try different resistances.
Or be able to turn it back to 0 ohms when you just want normal driving.

This is the silliest thing I've ever heard. First off, 2 things affect boost, 1) spin the s/c faster by using a different pulley, 2) manage loss by having the most efficient path from s/c to tb.
So prove it, show us the boost on a boost guage before and after......

I was thinking about it for awhile and at first i had vacuum bleed valve
before map ,same results, down side was check engine light, that is how i figure it out to restrict signal to ecu. I do have vacuum/boost gage in the shop but it is huge so when I will get proper bracket to mount it in the car then for sure pictures will be available.

tuning of potentiometer i must have access to star diag. to delete check engine light, and to monitor MAP sensor and it is very hard because of new manager.
(((Maybe snap-on computer can do same thing hmmm…

when you go over 4800RPM bost increases very poorly and after 5000 it is stable,so with asp pulley and that map sensor mod i have 10psi boost.

Hey,i am still working on pictures.
and i have to change location of resistor because of excessive underhood temp.screwing up setting and chk.engine comes on.

Just use a basic OBD2 scantool and plug it to the connector below the steering column and read the fault and clear it.

I noticed it also depends on air temperature. When holding at 5,500 rpm on the dyno the boost fell from 10psi to 3psi. I think the ECU pulls back the boost when the air temperature goes high. We then replaced the stock intercooler to a bigger one and the boost held steady at 11psi.

Like country version coding.Or maybe you can reach even more with map sensor mod.I have to get different boost gauge and retest it.If you could tell
me actual value for your map sensor at idle...than could figure it out .

Bump!
Please post pics, location of wiring, where resistor is wired in,
wattage of resistor? You mention resistor is getting hot, so
do w need a heat sink, or larger pot?
Busy yes, but this is really good stuff.

When questioned about how the horsepower numbers he was claiming this member was quite elusive. Then mysteriously he posted about his car being vandalised and being bought out by insurance.
You may want to search all the posts this member did to look up the details. This mod is rather iffy.
