Default Boost at the manifold!

I found a paper with this formula on it and thought you FI guys might like it. I don't remember where I got though...

MAP(peak)#/30= atmoshere #
14.7p.s.i. = 1 atmosphere
atmosphere # * 14.7 = p.s.i. seen at manifold
p.s.i. at manifold - 14.7 = amount of boost in the manifold

What would it take to put a 2 bar MAP sensor on these cars? Could it be done with custom programming? What MAP sensor would we be able to use?

Hmmm...2bar MAP sensors, wideband O2's and being able to read them with Atap. Now that would be sweet. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
