Default quick f/ic question

I have an 06 tC. If I go ahead and install the F/iC with no map on it will I have any problems? also do I need to run the vacuum boost line to the f/ic if im not running boost?
Thanks

ok, then no you shouldn't need to hook up the vacuum signal. you would just set it up by tps position and rpms. that is if you are running the nitrous and 100% throttle which is the only way you should.

You cannot hook it up with no map as it will make everything zeroed out...you will need a base map for stock injectors.
They have one on the aempower.com forums.

yeah its got a full window switch system first gear lockout, 3000-6000rpm spray window, and tps WOT switch.

hooking it up without a tune on it wont give me any problems will it?

Why does he need a base map with stock injectors? "0" means no change from the factory output to the injectors, timing, etc. Explain please........

yeah...your probably right...but when I put the F/ic on my car wiht no map, it sputtered worse then when I had nothing on at all...of couse this was after I installed my kit.

I also spoke with dezod, and they said a 0 map is blank and will not work as it's not a base map...it's not ONLY the fuel map but the ignition that needs to be adjusted to make a stock car run stock...i think....i dunno, but good to have just in case, right?

yeah...I don't think so. But I sent you a base map anyway...it's not tuned for any boost.

Just plug in your f/ic and drive around...if it dies, put on the map I sent you...no worries.

see, not only will it be 0 in the fuel map, but it will be 0 voltage in the 02 and ignition tables, and the maf table will be 0 as well...I just don't think it will work.
