i bought my 92 dsm with a vpc and i am putting it back to the stock maf sensor. i bought one and never saw how it was setup. i see a nipple on the maf sensor and i dont know what hose is supposed to goto it... it looks like it would fit the hose from the bov but im not sure.... anyone with a picture of the stock maf setup for a 1g would be great, thanks.
 
If you're talking about the little fitting, it's for your factory BCS, cap it off if you have a MBC.
 
where dose that hose goto?

Hi oldman, i've got an MBC. i installed a t-fitting on the line from the MBC to the waste gate actuator. the t goes to the nipple on the maf. is it better if i just cap it off completely and just run a straight hose from the MBC to the wastegate actuator?

It's not just better, it's a must, I'm surprised you're able to control boost at all. Turbo outlet pipe -> MBC -> wastegate actuator, no T's. Also make sure the MBC is not connected to the BOV line.
 
no i trusted you i just didnt know if we where talking about the same thing... thanks

Finally got my car to start today.... wasnt getting spark. i changed the coil pack, transistor pack. and finally the ecu and took vpc off and replaced stock maf.
guy before me said that he had 2 other ecus go out on him.... im wondering why... maybe vpc had loose connection and was causing a short? what other reasons would cause an ecu to crap out?
 
ISC's are known to blow ECU's, I would send it off to wisemen uncle "steve", he should be able to tell you what caused the damage in most cases. BTW, your shift key seems to be mulfunctioning intermittenly. ;)
