I'm going to check this out tonight. To be able to log boost will be a huge help when tuning. I'd like to go out there right now and try this.

I'll post back with results.
The ground lead of A22 is ECU Signal Ground. You don't want to tie Chassis ground to Signal ground at the MAP sensor because it would create a ground loop. (Chassis ground and Signal ground should only be tied at one point which in this case is at the ECU.)

Low power instrumentation like A/F and Boost meters should be connected to signal ground. Incorrect ground reference of an A/F meter for example, could cause your A/F to change everytime you step on the brakes or turn on your blinkers.
