Hey guys, does anyone have a closeup picture of the map sensor? It should be located on the inlet tube before the throttle body. I'm trying to get a little leg work done before my 2008 MCS arrives.

Thanks,


Terry

 

Not sure exactly what you want to see, but this illustration shows placement...
it's number 5...

...hope that helps.

 

That's the TMAP sensor. The other MAP sensor is in the intake manifold itself, #10 on the below picture.

 

Ryan is right, I posted the location of the TMAP(which reads air temp and pressure)but for some reason the illustration doesn't even show up on realoem. This one is from my ETK,
I enlarged it a little bit that's why it's blurry...as Ryan said, it's number 10...

 

I have a feeling the two MAP sensors are used for different things. One is probably used for the boost controller and the other [or both] used for the BOV operation. I would enjoy teasing both signals, seeing how the ECU uses them! I'm sure UNIchip already has a solid understanding of them, but it's also their job!

 

Candyman has a good pic of the map sensor.

 

Here it is w/ the ATP boost source adapter:

 

Yup the unichip is at the least using one of them(most likely both) to allow for more boost...

 

It's #6 on that diagram.

 

Awesome, thanks! That's it! Is that picture from an R56?

 

PS. I only see 3 wires there, are you sure it is a temperature-map sensor? Appears to be map only.

It's an adapter for boost tap for a gauge.

 

Thats the map sensor from the intake manifold not the tmap from the intercooler tube. If you're just looking for the tmap sensor when you get the car just open the hood and you will clearly see it in the left.

 

Ahhh, thanks! I have a lot to learn with these cars. I wish mine would get here so I could start taking it apart.

 

Not to be a pest but does anyone have a pic of their tmap sensor on the intercooler tube? I want to see if its the same sensor as the 335i. Thanks in advance.

 

Are you sure your're not looking for the MAF sensor?

from altas page(I hope they don't mind)...

 

No, the tmap, used to compute air density.

Thanks,

Thanks it!! Thanks!

Looks like its different than the 335i. I guess since I'm already being a total pita I'll ask one more question. Does anyone know the numbering/letters on the sensor?

 

I'll check tomorrow if you still need it by then. What are you planning Split Second?

 

Haha I'm not split second but a competator in the 335i market. But also not a vendor yet so this is my personal account. No details here.

 

I didn't ment you were split second... just that if you were planning on buying a turbo tuner from split second and having them customize it to the r56

 

No plans to do that..

 

Number 6 is just a bolt, 5 is the sensor.
