    Map Sensor and Boost Pressure Sensor

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've read many places and it refers to it differently. The Dealership is telling me the MAP sensor is built into the MAF, but can someone clarify this for me?

    I'm getting weird boost spikes and did a pressure test and no leaks. I either hit 22-20 psi or 19-20psi and no its not the weather. When it got cold i got back to the 21-22 but during the summer I was at 19-20

    Re: Map Sensor and Boost Pressure Sensor

    I believe the MAP sensor is located right next to the thottle body, and the boost sensor is obviously located on the intercooler

    MAP sensor is in the intercooler piping going to the throttle body.

    I think APR gives you a different one to use with the Stage III+

    correct.

    look just below your driver headlight and you will see it plugged into the piping.

    Re: Map Sensor and Boost Pressure Sensor
