MAF delete
So, I picked up a used MS2E rev built, and I just have a quick question regarding the MAF... I'm being told by some friends on another car forum that if I want to VTA with my BOV that I'll need to pick up a MAP in order to ditch the MAF.
I understand the issues with a MAF and VTA with running rich and whatnot, but it was my impression that this was a non issue with a MS.
My MS2E has a little boost line connector on it, does this essentially replace the MAP?
Also, I see that DIYAutoTune et all sell a GM IAT sensor, should I worry about upgrading to that? Or is my stock one okay? Is it PnP, or do I need a different bung welded? And I assume I'll need to re-wire the harness?
Sorry, I know these are noobie questions..

And this is the sensor I want, right? GM Open Element IAT Sensor with Connector DIYAutoTune.com Isn't it just plug and play in the stock IAT spot, or do I need a new bung welded?

are you seriously trying to set a record for the most amount of stupid questions asked in the shortest amount of time?
I swear I'm gonna pay Scott to ban you.
I mean how do you plan to tune your car when you don't even know literally the most basic things in the universe concerning MS?
And I PROMISE you I'm not saying this to be mean or flame you or haze you. I'm genuinely stunned

Right, so I don't need an additional MAP sensor, I just run a vacuum line to the MS, correct?

Edit: Did you even pull the 10AMP fuse?

Sorry I'm so annoying to you, but if you'd read my post again I'm basically saying "hey guys, I've been doing quite a bit of research, but some of my friends are telling me that I'm wrong. I believe my MS boost line replaces a MAP, and that I can put this GM IAT in place of my stock one, is that all true?"
Yes, i've read through megamanual, yes I've read through the directions Rev sent me, and yes, I've searched and I've browsed the stickies, and no, none of those places provide me with a direct answer to these questions.

And yes, I read the stickied "MSPnP FAQ" and many of the "Super important megasquirt threads" and still haven't found the answer.
Before you get all huffy and give "negative props", find me a clear-cut answer that's somewhere that a *noob* would know to look, or a search string that finds the right answer--not one that you know of because you were here 4 years ago when it was discussed in that one thread that's now on page 9.
Also, I do have a mate who has agreed to show me the ropes when it comes to megasquirt and tuning. I'm just trying to get all my parts together.

I'm not annoyed with you, and I'm not negative propping you.
I'm genuinely concerned for your car, because the amount of knowledge you're displaying is literally next to none, and I genuinely don't think you should even go near the car or the MS you bought until you actually know at least the bare essentials.
And I 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt don't believe your claims of "I've read it all, still don't understand"........There's so much detailed info even my dog can learn to do it. Unless of course you're less intelligent than my dog......
......anyways, to answer your questions:
-the "boost line" you're referring to IS a map sensor built into your ms
-yes a gm iat replaces your stock one and you need to weld a bung in for it
I suggest you go on the DIYautotune site and msextra and start by reading "WHAT IS A MEGASQUIRT", then "HOW DOES IT WORK", then "SETTING UP MEGASQUIRT IN A MIATA".....basically the 2+2 basic knowledge that is so entry level, most of the threads on here assume you wouldn't need to even waste your time reading them

So what you're saying is "yes, everything you said in your original post is correct. Your friends are wrong, and you are right." how does that make me less intelligent than your dog?

Also your friends and you are saying the same thing, except they don't know that your ms has a map sensor, and you don't know either.
The fact that you called it a "boost line" tells us everything that we (unfortunately) need to know about your level of knowledge.
So here's what you do (to fix this problem):
Read up on MSextra and DIYautotune on the basics. Then read the threads here. Then read rev's "manual" on hooking up the ms (if he didn't give you one I think there is one Scott posted somewhere here too, if not I'll post one). Just those things alone will get you to the level of knowledge where you'll be asking intelligent questions and we can actually help you out

If all of us were so insecure that we made a thread each time one of our idiot friends told us something vague or misleading, this forum would be in the billions of threads by now.
Sack up and do some research.
I'll give you a +prop just to make you stop crying

I will continue to dig through the forums at DIY and MSextra, and I also discovered that there are some decent tips in the "making and installing your own MSPNP" thread which I originally overlooked as I thought it was strictly for the soldering/construction of the MS board, which I'm not doing.

I really am sorry about the noobish questions, and I'm sorry if I got a bit grumpy with the terse replies.. I understand where they're coming from. It's just hard sometimes because I KNOW there's a ton of good info out there, but it's scattered across 7 different forums, and there are 17 different Megasquirt options out there, and all of the instructions are different depending on what you have. And just when i think I finally understand something someone tells me I'm wrong.
