It plugs into the back of the block behind the intake. You have one stock... its jsut a 1 bar set up thought, swap it out for a 2 or 3 bar

awsome!!!
anyone have apart number and is it a direct plug and go or do you need a harness adapter or something??
yeah temsp change alot
so should i stay with my 99 ls1 maf or get one from a truck..
He's the uber moderator...COUNTRY BOY...you tell em, read those FAQ's dammit!

Hmm I thought 1bar is 15psi as I have 1bar springs in my tial gate in my 97 talon and that is 15psi roughly. So would have thought 2bar would be like 30 and 3 bar 45.
I was thinking speed density no maf in my 99 ta.Might stick with maf in my 97 talon not sure yet there either.I can't see speed density cars running that bad buddy has 93 trans am with paxton blower and its speed density stock setup.It runs fine all the time.

In maps sensors, 1 bar gets you 14.7 psi that is atmospheric pressure....that's why a 1 bar map doesn't read boost pressure as that is pressure over atmospheric. So a 2 bar will read 14.7psi of boost and a 3 bar will read 29-30psi, etc. You have to subtract the first 14.7 psi for atmospheric pressure.

Isn't there some kind of sensor to measure air intake temperature, or is that part of the MAF? I'm a little confused why the MAP only setup will get problems when the weather changes. I know changes in air temperature change air density, but I thought the MAP system had that taken care of?!
