Ok so people have done it but not posted any pics or anything - Anything you do is worthless without Pics.....so here you go.
Map Clamp - I used the following diagram and went to Radio Shack and picked up the parts and made the clamp. I couldn't find a project box small enough so I purchased a LED that had a small battery box and I gutted it out. You will need to find something yourself as well.
Once completed I took off the battery lid as well as the ECU cover and located the wires I needed according to this diagram.
The connector your want to look at is the one on the left and there are 4 rows looking at it from the angle of the Pic starting from the Top to Bottom:
The Wires/Connections you're looking for are;
Connector 2AG white/green wire is the signal - Top Row 7 Pins from left
Connector 2AU green/black wire is the 5v source - 3rd Row 4th Pin from Left
Connector 2AV brown/green wire is the ground - 4th Row 4th Pin from Left
Once the wires are located, you will want to shave a little area on them so you can solder in the connection from the Map Clamp....>DON'T cut any wires, just strip off some of the shielding.
Now on my Map clamp, I had the Red Wire as the 5v, Black for Ground and Green for Signal. Yours may be different if you purchased it online or used different colors...to each there own.
Here is mine Soldered in Place and Taped up.
Another Angle
And here is the finished product. I used some wire tubing I had laying around to run the wires through and I mounted the Map Clamp to the side of the Battery Box (where I like to put everything as you can see).
Map Clamp
Ok now how did I set my Map Clamp. Well there are 2 ways.
1. Use a DashHawk or other device that sees what the ECU sees for Boost and set it where you want it boost wise. This is how I did it as I have a DashHawk. I set the Map Clamp all the way to the left and made a run. The ECU read -8 PSI max. I then turned the clamp clockwise till I got the setting I wanted. I set the Map Clamp at 15.08PSI for now which seems to be pretty damn good. I did a few pulls and my MBC was set to 19PSI and I didn't have any issues at all.
2. Connect a long wire to the Signal and one to the Ground wires on the connections before you tape them up and then getto run them into the cabin of the car. This way you can have a buddy with you while you're making runs and they can monitor the Voltage using a Voltage Meter. Do a run, see what the voltage is and adjust as needed. I guess the common settings are between 3.5 and 4.0. However, I HAVE NO CLUE as I didn't check my voltage, just what my ECU was seeing for boost.
Shoot me a PM if you have any questions and I will help with what I can. I hope this helps others in their venture. For those of you trying new things as well, it would benefit the community as a whole if you actually took the time to document your jobs.
