Afm Or Pressure Sensor?

[stenve]

soo a few questions...

here is where i am at...

atm the car has:

-full 3 inch exhaust turbo back split dump

-bosch 040 fuel pump (re-wired)

-adjustable fuel pressure regulator

-fmic using stock piping.

-pod filter

-gfb plumb back and atmo bov

-boost control (bleed valve)

-mv stage 2 shift kit (going in soon)

-drift catch can

-other silly little things like engine damper, turbo timer etc.

-the rest is stock (stock injectors, turbo, internals etc)

now i have a greddy emanage ultimate sitting here and want to put it in and go for a tune in the next few weeks.

my main question is what would be better for me? a z32 afm or the pressure sensor that can be bought for the emu or will the stock afm cope?

i am aimnig for just over 200rwkw maybe 220rwkw (completly street driven) or so as i know the stock injectors max out around 230rwkw (some ppl have got higher but dont want to push them too much)

ive read that with the sensor i will loose tuning points? but the fact is a pressure sensor is about $180 a zf2 is about $300ish..

what way do you guys think i should go? is there anything else i should do before the tune aside from, oil change, plugs etc? would aftermarket fmic piping make much of a difference?

the plan down the track is to get bigger injectors and turbo and retune so keep that in mind.

thanks alot

stock AFM will be fine for those power values. Save your money for now and replace the AFM when you do the turbos and injectors.

I suggest asking whoever you want to tune the car, as to which method they prefer to tune, MAF or MAP. You wont be able to tell the differnce driving the car, but the tuner will have a prefered method to tune on no doubt.

MAP sensor for sure ur running an ATMO BOV so the atmo realise will confuse the computer n will play wid ur mixtures if running a AFM....

go MAP if your not going to take long drives that vary in altitude much o/wise go MAF

problem with maps is that the ecu takes a base reading of the manifold pressure at startup to take an atmospheric datum and its tunes are based on that.

If your going on long drives up a few mountains and havent turned your car off since starting it your car will soon start playing silly buggers. Some notice some dont
