For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.

    TB/MAP sensor question

    So i bought an omnipower 70mm throttle body and i noticed the nipple where our map sensor connects to is not there. Instead i discovered that on this throttle body the map sensor sits on top of it. Now my question is if i were to get this aftermarket map sensor would i have to splice in a plug from say a b-series motor to the plug that connects our map sensor. and if so would this work perfectly fine? Im sure this is a little confusing. Thanks again for the help

    yes you need to get the right style plug - even tps ones work
    once wired it will work fine. If you need anything else let me know as I did it on my ride for the 4bar map

      you can also plug that hole with rtv silicone or somthing and just run your vac line to the intake manifold nipples

        ok if i can get my hands on the female side for the map sensor then i am going to do it that way omnipower has a 3bar that replaces the stock map sensor ill try that route first if that doesnt work then i will just fill the hole with JB weld and use another nipple for it. Thanks guys

          unless your ecu is chipped, you cant add a higher bar sensor. I have never liked the silicon route. They do make a cover plate for these applications.

            You must be running turbo? Otherwise a 3 bar sensor and a 70 mm throttlebody probably won't be ideal for you

              i used a the rtv silicone on mine and havent had any problems, i used the silicone so in the future i can take it out if needed compare to jbweld.
