Default WHERE TO PUT THE MAT SENSOR ???

I installed the miniram and ATI supercharger, I hate to put the mat sensor in one of the S/C tubes, any idea on a good place to install it ?

Thanks,

Rich

I've got mine installed in one of the rubber tubes. Drilled a hole, and stuffed it in. Seals nice and tight, and stays put.

I left my MAT sesnor mounted in my Mini-Ram. The kit had a relocation sensor, but I figured the boost would blow it out of the tubes, as it was just a rubber grommet fixture.

Was I wrong? Will relocating the sensor make that much difference?

Steve, I called TPIS and they told me to install it in the supercharger tube.

Rich - well, that's from the horses mouth! Did you do so? Does it stay in under boost?

Krivera - what emotion does that little purple thingy convey?

KRIVERA, I feel the same way, I think it would blow out.

Steve, I'm still looking for a spot.

FAST GLASS, 12#'s of boost and it stays put, maybe I'll give it a try I just hate to put a hole in the S/C tube.

I was thinking of putting it in the end of the air filter, I don't know if it will get a good reading though, any thoughts on that ??
