Default Intake manifold and map sensor
A friend of mine has a sheetmetal intake. In the back where the map sensor is plugged in, the hole is over sized. He plans to run at least 15 #'s of boost and doesn't (for some weird reason) want it to push back out.
Do any of you guys have any suggestions on how to make it work? It is quite a bit larger.Thanks.

I was planning on drilling/tapping/epoxying that hole for a 1/8" NPT hose barb fitting and running a vacuum line to the 2-bar MAP sensor.
