Alright so lets say I get my turbo setup completely installed, complete with larger injectors, garrett gt35, external wastegate, BOV, all the hardpipes and whatnot, and a big ass intercooler.
I switch to colder plugs and start the car for the initial startup, and level my fuel trims to near perfect. At this point is the car safe to drive and datalog? Or will the car throw codes and run like shit as soon as it sees boost?
I guess we would need to clamp the MAP sensor so the boost is hidden from the ECU, and let the Fuel Ignition Controller take care of the boost?
How will the FIC read boost, and then know to add fuel, pull timing, or both?
I know the FIC has the reference port for boost. What I do not know is what needs to be done to make the fuel map a direct function of the amount of boost present, and engine load/speed. I just don't want to blow anything up on initial startup.
I plan on doing it right and picking up a scan tool and a wideband along with the FIC, so I can see everything I need to.
