The instructions do not specify the best location.I seen a few installs and people have put the sender/sensor inside the cabin. I would have thought that keeping the vacuum line shorter would be better and hence why I was going to place the sensor under the bonnet and close to where I would splice into the BOV vacuum line.Any feedback appreciated.Cheers.

I'll take the ICC out when I fit the gauges so I'll be able to put the sender inside the dash.What firewall hole are you guys using? the one on the passenger side? I am worried about the hose getting kinked but I guess if its ok for everyone else should be alright with mine too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the new one is mounted under my dash works fine there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
