Not sure what you mean by boost sensor. What are you wanting to do?

 

The map sensor is on the passenger side located on the intercooler. Is there a reason you're asking?

 

There's actually 3 map sensors....

I have a feeling the OP wants to add a boost gauge? And that is a vacuum tap or odb2 gauge..

 

Sorry for not including more info.
I'm adding Turbo transformer.


Is there an easy way to get at it?
I can get some fingers on it from below but not enough to remove it.
I can clearly see it from above but again my hand don't fit to install it?
I'm thinking I may have to remove the turn indicator bezel for access.


Just trying to learn from others experience.

Thanks!

 

Did you ever find a solution?

 

From my quick google, this is a piggy back unit from eBay.

Please do not install this. If you want to get a tune, look into SCT or livernois.

An item like this is "snake oil" and either will not work, break, or fake you out. Many will try to over boost the turbo, not safe. Others just open the throttle plate with less gas pedal push. A true real tune is the only safe and effective way to get a true tune

 

The TMAP sensor

 

Thanks, after warranty I'll probably tune but for now this will do.

 

This turbo transformer thingy is the same as those gas pedal signal amplifier, you will feel the car has more power after installing it, but after a few tank of gas, the PCM will adjust and adapt, so it will be back as normal, if you want more power, get a tune.


I started using SCT about 6 months right after I bought my car, I re-installed the stock tune every time I go to the dealer for service, it is almost 3 years now and the dealer haven't discover I am using non stock tunes.

 

Well, I didn’t go the eBay route, but I picked up a Flowmaster Delta Boost. All arguments for/against aside, I’m going to install it and take it to the dyno (I have an AWD Dynojet about 20 minutes away) to see how legit their claims are and report back here. It seems a bit more advanced than an eBay boost pressure fakeout device. I’ll also have the diagnostics to see if it starts running lean under the higher boost pressure. Basically, I want to see how practical it is in reality. It seems too good to be true on paper. However, if the numbers add up, it could be a good performance enhancer. If not, it’s going back under a challenge to their claims. It might also be the type of thing that works, but needs a custom tune to safely take advantage of the higher boost. I guess we shall see!
