Is a stock honda MAP sensor a 2bar MAP sensor. I am just curious......
As for the S-AFC if you are going turbo there is no need to have a S-AFC. Once you are on boost it wont be doing any adjustment. The reason that the s-afc wont work with the saturn is that our engine uses a 1bar MAP sensor. Hondas use somthing bigger then a 1bar more like a 2bar. This is why they must use check valves on their MAP sensor. We dont have to do that. 1bar=0psi (or 14.7psia). Our computer never sees boost. Even with the S-AFC it can only ajust with in the limits of the 1bar map sensor. Adding more voltage will not to anything. The S-AFC works by intercepting the signal from the stock MAP sensor it then gives the computer a new reading.
Is this pretty much true?

i dont know about saturns but ur pretty much on the money. the SAFC/VAFC is a piggyback its not an ECU or a standalone. it intercpets the signal from the sensor makes the adjustment needed to be made and sends it to the ecu with the new signal.
if your ecu doesnt read boost even with the SAFC then u either need to find a company that can make the proper adjustments to ur ecu (like JWT for nissans) or get a stand alone.
good luck
