Anyone try this? Where does it actually attach?

 

I have it on mine, it bolts on under the MAP sensor on the intake manifold.

Works great. I'll post a picture in a few -- but basically it just pops under the MAP sensor in ths picture:


and it has a nipple coming out of the side for a boost source.

 

Sweet....can't wait to see the pics, as I don't know where the MAP sensor is .......so how would an electronic boost sensor hook up, since the sensor has to thread into something?

 

It doesn't come w/ instructions but it's simple.

1. Just locate the map sensor on the intake manifold and unscrew it (it's 1 bolt, 8mm if I recall correctly).

2. Pull the sensor out carefully.

3. Put the ATP adapter in where the sensor came out.

4. Put he sensor into the ATP adapter.

5. Use the included longer bolt w/ hex top to tighten the whole assembly down, just make sure you don't overtighten it, just make it snug.

The ATP adapter sandwiches between the intake manifold and stock MAP sensor, so it has a nipple coming off the side. You just put your vacuum line to the gauge on this nipple and you're in business. The gauge should include the vacuum line.



So the sensor unbolts & comes out, the ATP adapter goes in its place, you put the sensor into the adapter and bolt it all back down and you're done. Just make sure you don't overtighten it, the stock manifold is plastic so you don't want to damage the threads.

 

And there's a vacuum nipple on one side that you can't see in the pic above:

 

i just drilled and tapped the manifold

 

if your boost sensor is threade you most likely will need and adpater from the thread you got to a barb fiting

BTW Candyman do you guy offer any other type of shipping since shipping to PR for just this adapter is about $28 bucks And I have been wanting to order it for some time know.

 

That works too. Not so much fun drilling & tapping plastic though.

 

I have only seen 1 threaded boost sensor, and that's AEM, and it includes the barb fitting you're talking about. Just call in and tell whoever you talk to that you want it sent USPS, should be alot less.
