Mine has a hole in the top to the sensor just FYI. Then again it looks like a different sensor than you have.

You may get a small leak under boost since you removed material from the top of the hold down ears.
Nick, yours has a hole because DPE uses a different body of the same core (it has an open air reference which isn't necessary).

Good to know--if I have to I'll build that area back up back to original'ish dimensions or find another way to counteract that issue

Started my SD tune last night, figured I got the sensor, might as well use it. Almost maxing it out, not sure what the max is. Hit 246kpa on last dyno run which has to be close to the 2.5 bar limits.

It works! First try reading was about 2kpa off from the original. Adjusted offset and it was dead on after that. AFR is right where it was prior
I see what you mean now and am making the hold down area thicker. Should be simple enough to make it a little tighter fit..
I'm just glad the thing worked

I wouldn't just fudge the offset until it's right. You should actually look at the data sheet and determine the linear and offset values according to the sensor's calibration.

After looking at the graph in the sensor data sheet I'm starting to think that's not quite right. I'll play with it more in a bit
Happy thanksgiving everyone!

I had assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the numbers DPE use would work. I was assuming they use the same sensor, but perhaps not.

Linear: 244.68
Offset: 13.50
With these I'm within 1kPa from the stock sensor at idle and with the engine off.. so I think that's as close as I'm going to get

Very NICE work!
Here is the latest design.
I ordered the sensor without the body and was able to squeeze it in the OEM sensor body which makes for a cleaner look.
It took about 2 hours total to make it.
I had to drill a 41/64" hole which is very close to the diameter of the OEM sensor body to accept the new 2.5 bar sensor.
