Default Installed VPC, now cel and weird idle

I finally installed my vpc yesterday. I used some diagram i found on sf and everything was pretty accurate except it didnt tell me what to do with wire b66 coming from the maf, so i just left it unplugged. The car drives perfectly fine except im getting a cel (code 24 i believe) and at idle, my afr's will jump from 14.5 to 16.6. Anyone else have this problem?

Setup: vpc w/440cc injector chip, 2.2kohm 1/2 watt connected to the blue/pink and small brown wire, stock 330cc injectors, t61 @4 psi. Any help will be appreciated!

Wild guess, but might be because your chip size and injectors don't match.

Daveh said i could use the 440's, i would just have to take out fuel at idle in order for it to work. I think the reason its having a weird idle is due to my cel, its code 26 (air intake temp). I think i have my resistor in the wrong place, anyone have a pic of the resistor installed in the maf plug.

Heres a pic i took last year showing the 2 MAF wires i cut and wired in a resistor for my map ECU.
However, i've never installed a VPC, so you will need to confirm whether you use the same 2 for the VPC just to be certain.....
But I have since gone to an AEM EMS , and these are in fact the same 2 wires i used for my AEM AIT sensor as well......
-Good luck!
