Thats one of my options, i'm going to talk to a machine shop tomorrow after my finals to see what they can do for me.

In the Corvette the sensor tends to fail and for some reason the aftermarket decided to build a relocation kit so you could change the sensor without removing the intake.

Anywho,

You don't necessarily have to get that kit, but maybe something along that idea would work.

that is originally what I tried to do aswell. Hopefully you have better luck but let me tell you man I wasted my whole ******* day off going to specialty shops and speed shops in my city without any ******* luck seriously 150 miles of driving and 6 hours of driving around without getting dick accomplished. Thats why I ended up relocating it to the filter housing. If I would have done that from the start I would have saved myself alot of wasted time.

The problem is the threads are very hard to match.

Aeroquip FCM2241 / FBM2241 (M16x1.5 male x -6AN male)
to
Aeroquip (-6AN female/female) 90* or 45*

to (can have a hose and/or pressure gauge between here if wanted)

Russell Performance 640830 (-6AN male x M16x1.5 female)


That will work!!! About 30$ w/o hose and pressure gauge.
