Can you install MAP without removing intake?
Hi guys I have a 2001 Z06 and need to swap out the MAP sensor for a 2bar and was wondering if you can do it without intake removal?
Can you take off the vent bridge behind for access?
let me know

No need to remove anything. Just reach back there and work yor hands around. Of course dont break anything.
Good luck.

We have to drop the cradle(6 bolts) to replace the MAF, we've since cut a relief in the cowl so you can change it in minutes.

And the MAF if right there on the front of the engine
(had to say that)
I would probably just pull the intake before I dropped the cradle.

Phil97SVT will never live this down. I'd hate to see what he does for a simple spark plug change!
