Default MAP Sensor pop-out?
Anyone have a MAP sensor pop out of the LSX intake under boost?

Yep I did it, but only because I didn't have it snapped in right.

It seems there is no way to secure it in the LSX intake like there is in the stock intake. How did you secure it properly?

I tapped the map sensor hole, screwed in a hose barb fitting, and ran vacuum hose to the map sensor. This was after it popped out on me at 10#'s of boost on an sd tune. Luckily it didn't blow the motor.
