Ls1 map sensor relocations - pic request On my ls1 intake I had to remove the part that holds the map sensor since the firewall and cowl were in the way.
Does anyone have any pics on a slick way of adding it somewhere else that didn't look sloppy? I googled images but didn't come up with much.

MAP sensor Megasquirt did a test on relocating their MAP sensor. They found out that a vacuum hose of ANY lenght had no effect on the sensor reading. Their MAP sensor is different than the GM sensor but vacuum is vacuum. If you can find a place to attach a hose and run it to the sensor somewhere out of sight the only restriction would be the wires. On an LT1 engine I unplugged the MAP from the manifold mounting, attached a hose to it, dropped it into the valley and covered it with the LT1 valley covers. Worked for 13 years.
