    Lightbulb going STS Turbo should i get a 2 Bar MAP

    hey guys i started a similar thread in the wrong section lol so i am makin up for it here. i am starting anew with an sts turbo for my 2002 WS6 M6, ill be hittin 8 PSI no more, and im just lookin for some pointers here, i have never tuned forced air induction before. so here are my questions:

    Do i need a 2 Bar Map, or can i just lower the MAF threshold so when i hit boost the car relies on the MAF cuz it doesnt care about pressure just airmass?

    If i get the 2 bar MAP should i run car in OL forever or can i turn it back into CL?

    If a 2 Bar is required, should i use the Boost VE histogram when im tuning my primary VE?

    thx guys,
    Tom

    LIke I put in the email, if your leaving the MAF in. I say you don't need the 2bar. but if you go SD tune it wouldn't be a bad idea.

    are you changing that torquer cam with the STS kit added on?

    If you exceed the limit of the MAF you either have to buy a bigger maf, rescale everything, or go 2bar.

    I went over 512g/sec with my blower so I decided to go 2bar.

    i definitely recommend the 2bar setup. I've had good luck on multiple cars this way and specifically one STS car.
