EBP influence on tuning.

Light discussion about the EBP sensor, notice Bill doesn't say anything bad about having it disconnected. The PCM is able to use the MAP sensor in place, although not designed, because in an ideal world, EBP=Boost, although not so typically. So it is the next best thing when the computer can't "see" the EBP sensor. I've read of people trying to achieve a 1:1 ratio between drive pressure and boost. I'm guessing this would be for reaching peak efficiency. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Bills last statement "If you turn the EBP sensor off in the program, the PCM uses MAP instead. That what the YEBP switch is for." I would take that to mean I need my programs tweaked.

No, just a traditional single. I havent actually heard it but I can only assume it to be obnoxious during high idle with the valve closed.

Backpressure valve
Shift/line pressures
Desired boost (which indirectly changes wastegate operation)

There's probably one or two more that I've forgotten.

Anyway, there won't be any real negative or detrimental effects of having the sensor unplugged. Auto manufacturers often implement strategies to avoid damage in case of sensor failure anyway (fail safe modes).

I guess I was really wondering if I was missing out from a performance stand point.
