Default recently installed fast 90/90 and now my map sensor is loose

I recently installed a fast 90 intake on my camaro and now the map senor fits very poorly. What are people doing to fix this problem and make the map fit correctly? Thanks

people usually slather some rtv silicone on the sensor to keep it in place, and to seal the area...common complaint.

Should fit right for what it costs if you ask me!

Mine is ugly, but I put a 90 degree elbow into the intake and then ran a 1/4" rubber hose out to where I could reach the MAP sensor and still have the electrical connection fit. Issue on the Vette is the MAP sensor hitting the cowl.

Also, LPE makes a kit to move it to the front of the intake. It isn't cheap, but it is a very high quality kit. If you have EGR, I don' think this kit will not work.
