Default ls6 to FAST

The sensors in the back of the LS6...what do I need to keep? I know I need that little sensor, but what about that one in the back of the intake - brake booster hose connects to it, do I need to reuse that for the FAST 90?

You will just need the brake booster hose and the MAP sensor itself. You will also need to plug the a/c vacuum hose into the passenger side (you can see it's black, and over on the right).

The map sensor does not fit for ****. You may have to use tie wraps to hold it in place.

And/or RTV/crazy glue. It's a ******* shame when you spend over $700 on an intake manifold and it doesn't give head...... much less the parts don't even fit right.

Yeah, when I put on a fast intake, I planned to put a hose barb in the map sensor hole and relocate the sensor. In the course of finishing up other issues, I forgot and just left it stuck in the fast manifold. According to my data logs, my A/F ratio hit almost 20-1 when the map sensor blew out at 10#'s of boost. Of course then I was blowing black smoke and the engine was skipping really bad when I went back to idle. This is in addition to the sticking throttle problem I'm having with the fast 90 throttle body. I feel like they could do much better design and quality control for the price you pay for fast brand parts.
