is there a way to change it so it would work with stock single throttle body and for a boosted application or is that not possible?


The "Setup for ITB" is probably a setting in the tune, start with a fresh base map instead of trying to use the tune that's already in the ECU. The MAF delete is a side-effect of the physical ITB setup, but it's also what you'll want for running boost.

Unplug and remove the MAF, run a vacuum line from the intake manifold (the NA6 has a spare barb right after the throttle body, NA8 might need a "tee" into an existing vacuum line) to the vaccum port on the MS. Depending on the MS you have and how it was setup, you should be good for up to 3Bar of boost.

I've joined the gang! MSPNP-Pro for MSM (aka the SE)

I just need to actually install it :shock: Hopefully next weekend, unless the stars align this weekend. This weekend should see the LC-2 get hooked up though.

looking for connector pins part number 175061-1 (made by TE connectivity)

http://au.mouser.com/search/ProductDeta ... m=175061-1

These are the female 40 thou size connectors that fit the connectors on the original Mazda ECU plug.

I had some but do you think I can find them? I only need 1 to connect an alarm output for AFR Safety.

EDIT

FYI just found some in Australia here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/25pcs-175061 ... 2514333161

Tip: You need to embed your links within URL tags, otherwise they're useless (click on your second link to see what I mean, the page includes an eBay action for "25PCS Photo Booth Props For Wedding/Party/Birthday Moustache on a stick").

Thanks Lokiel, I'm more a hardware kinda guy than a software kinda guy.

The links did work earlier, but now alas they are dead as dodos. :beer:

I didn't know that and I preview all the time - maybe it's only problematic when a link contains spaces or other characters that aren't handled properly when you preview and I've always been lucky?
I'll keep this in mind in future.

its based on link length. encasing a link with the URL tags before hitting preview will maintain the link.

Anybody know where to find 4 connectors for Toyota 1ZZ Coils? I spent an hour this arvo looking under about 60 toyota bonnets at Boss Wrecking. Nothing! They cut the looms when they rip the motors out, cut looms go with the motors.

Can order the connector from amayama. Part number is 9098011885. I'm not sure if you can order the weather seals and pins on there as well though.

Otherwise there's: https://www.efihardware.com/products/26 ... -Connector

EDIT: if that price is for one connector kit it might be worth ordering from here even with the increased shipping costs
