s2k you don't have to video tape it while you run.
Select 4 monitor parameters including the pressure. Just press the up arrow to lock into peak mode. You will see that all the parameters will be hightighted and run the car. The VAFC will hold the peak values.

Let us know what number you get?
You should be able to tune the VAFC which should affect the AF ratio.

for those of you running supercharged in good conditions, what plugs are you running?

according to research I found some are running R5672A-8 (6564)

any impressions? are these the "right ones"?

If you put the VAFC back on the same way, you'll know real quick.
You have not been the first with a car that didn't run right due to a bad harness.

HardtoTame, how did you remove the VAFC and left the harness in without any problem?
I took my VAFC off and left the harness on before and the car stutter/CEL because there is no signal from the MAP because removing the VAFC left the circuit open....you know what I meant.

Did you have to get an adaptor or something to close off the circuit?

Man I am getting the big itch at the moment. I can't wait for my installation. Damn it I am still waiting for the oil bolts and throw out bearing from Jeffs Damn postal service! He sent it 7 days ago aldready.

I dont know whether anyone is reading this post anymore but im all straight now.

in case you care to know I had the VAFC pressure input wire (white) spliced into the map controller's blue wire therefore sending a boost signal to the VAFC.

The white (input pressure) wire from the VAFC goes to the map controller's output wire (white). The yellow output wire from VAFC goes to #17 wire on 31P blue connector.
