Sorry to dig up an old thread but...

I am currently doing custom 3" to intercooler on mine and want to know... if I put a 3/8 barbed fitting into the I/c pipe b4 the t/b, and run a 3/8 hose from this to the boost/map sensor...

(am I able to mount the sensor somewhere else so I dont have to extend the wires? )

Cheers

If you are in Sydney mate , you can come round and purchase one of our aluminium sensor bosses and we can weld it to your piping where evr you want . ( mark with texter and must pull off vehicle and alloy to be clean ) . Approx $30 - $40 depending on application .

Hey Guys

What are the effects of having the cold side boost/map sensor in the following 2 positions

  • Process west 3/8 hose running about 1000mm across trhe engine bay to the sensor
  • Plazman sensor fixed directly to the cold side piping whith extended wires

My concern is that the process west version will either give a in accurate reading, overboost, or delay

what are the advantages of each?

Thanks

Matt

Dont stress...the hose will pressurise instantly...try blocking one end and blowing in the other..you will see what I mean.

The hose will come up in pressure at the same rate as your intercooler piping....pressure is constant everywhere.

Hey Kev

I can understand that in a fluid system but as air can pressurise I dont see how it is the same? like blowing air through a thin straw and through a maccas straw, this is where my concern lays in the delay

Cheers

I have been told by pulse that there is another pressure sensor in the throttle body so I dont need to worry too much.

im happy with that answer

There was another post in this thread that suggest the boost and map sensor were both in the relocated sensor, this is why I was concerned
