Default map on back of fast 90 intake does boost leak out of it ?

I am not into a discussion of it my fast is good fi choice as seen them on cars running to 20psi with no problems and going to be staying under that but am concerned over the way the map don't fit very tight in there. anyone do any tweaks to it to get it to fit better.

I might consider that new street warrior intake but wish they would offer a direct port option on them like the fast.Thats one reason I like the fast is the direct port option.

yeah, I had an issue with a customer's car where it would almost blow out 'cos the Fast doesn't have the little tab to hold it down like in the stock intakes. I made a little bracket to hold it down and screwed it onto the intake itself. It was done right and everything was double checked and the intake was taken apart and cleaned up/etc. and we've not experienced any erratic behavior since then.

Mine kept popping off too, so I pluged it and ran a vacuum line to my 2 bar sensor.

When I ported my FAST I replaced all the bolts with stainless from McMaster-Carr. I sourced a longer bolt and spacer for the location near the map and made a hold down for the sensor. I also used some RTV just in case.

Ok thanks..fast should offer a nice looking plug thing for these intakes. So I can take off source for my 2 or 3 bar map anywhere? that sounds easy..

pretty much. I think there is a smaller port on the passenger side towards the back that mine is hooked to. And the actual sensor is zip tied to a wire loomed harness right around that general area.
