yeah well if you were in my situation you would relocate it because having one of these increases the labor significantly

OP...the relo can be done for much less than a kit if you are willing to do it just make sure you run the wires away from heat sources.
I think there is a DIY in the C5 Tech sticky DIY thread

I bought this kit several months ago when my OPS failed and while it is a bit expensive it worked perfectly and now if the OPS fails again I will know that is the problem b/c of the mechanical gauge There are other threads that you can search on where forum members built something comparable and serves the same purpose - you don't have to spend this much money. I chose to do so b/c it was one stop shopping. If you are pulling the intake to replace it anyways, it is a great time to relocate it. Good luck

On my dad's car we did the hole method (cut a hole in the cowl). Much cheaper than the other methods, if you dont mind a hole in the car that you can't see.
We also removed one of the PCV hoses that goes across right there, made it MUCH easier to install the new sensor.
