I recently upgraded the GT with the following:
FRPP Pulley
MAFIA Mass Air Flow Sensor
Performance Spark Plugs
Accufab Throttle Body
FRPP Muffler
Intake Boot Support Sleeve
Short Throw Shifter
91 Octane Tune (MMP)
When I picked the car up all seemed normal, boost was 0 at idle and about 13 pounds at or near WOT for the few miles I drove her home. A few days later I drove the car for about 20 miles at varying speeds and RPM’s , after stopping at a friend’s house for about 10 minutes, I started the car to leave and the boost gauge went immediately to -20 pounds and it continues to display those numbers. When the engine is off the boost gauge reads 0, but immediately goes to -20 when started. At WOT it reads 0, almost as if the needle slipped on its shaft? I’ve heard that the MAFIA may cause this problem and that I can re-program the car’s computer to reflect proper boost? A worse thought is that I may have joined the many others who’ve had gauge failures. Any help or information would be much appreciated. Short Throw Shifter is nice but short throw boost gauge is not so nice.
