    no, the missing link is nothing more than a check valve that releases pressure so that the map sensor does not see it and throw a CEL, uberdata will take care of that when its tuned

    correct. if you use a missing link you'll keep the ecu from seeing boost and you'll never get into the fuel/timing tables for boost.

    you only want to run a missing link if you're running an fmu, but you don't have much tuneability that way.
