It's right up against the condenser.... maybe not directly touching, but there is no space for anything between. The intercooler is in the way if you try to move it away from the condenser. You might have to move the tranny cooler to the driver side or lower it or something....

Hey guys sorry for the back and forth on this but I think the coupler I ordered will work great.
Finally got to spend some time with it today and the TB side is loose but once you start to turn the clamp on it it's fine. I will run this. The extra inch in length makes fitment way easier
I went back and edited previous posts about it not fitting to avoid confusion
Part number: HPS HTSR-350-400-L4-BLK

I had a cobalt sensor in mine for awhile... you will have to shave one side down to allow the tab on the intake to hold it but other than that it fits like stock

Yes, I use the cobalt SS sensor. Here is part number and pic showing the tabs. I just used a little sandpaper wheel on a dremel to file it down. It feels a little 'loose' in there (stock one probably was too). But for our relatively low boost levels I bet it's OK. I might do a boost leak test one day.

Also, which one is the cobalt sensor - right or left?

it's possible to do with the intake on, I've done it, but it would be easier if you already have the intake off... not sure I would remove it just for that reason though

I did it, it was a pain to remove... I recommend keeping the wiring attached to the sensor when you remove it, I did not and when it broke loose, it was 'lost' in no-man's land for awhile but I was finally able to fish it out.
Putting it back in, I put a little lube on the tip so to speak, and it will take a little fiddling around, but it wasn't too bad. Worst thing for me was not being able to confirm 100% that it was fully seated because you can't actually see it. I will definitely double check the next time the intake comes off..but I'm in no rush.
(basically concur with neutron)

Does the new sensor work as normal if I just do the swap in case I decide to go speed density...rather have it in there so o have choices

It works as normal as long as you change a couple settings in the tune to account for the new sensor. If you swap without changing the tune, it won't work right because it will be reporting false manifold pressure information.

ok, figures....any idea on what the tune settings are? If you have ti change the OS setting which one is it? 2 bar?

The tables have what they call a "scaler" and "offset" value for calibrating the MAP. Stock is ~ 95/10. 2 bar settings are 200/8, but I've also seen 195/10 used...both will work fine.
You can run SD on stock OS technically, by failing the MAF, but it will default to low octane table and might be a few other small limitations. The custom OS avoids those issues and opens up VE/timing tables in the 100+ kPa range.
I use efilive, but yes it's basically just the "2 bar" OS, which also has some extra nice functionality intended for SD tune. But on EFIlive at least there is nothing holding you back from running a custom 2 bar OS and keeping the MAF too
