Basically I have a st205 WRC intake, in the stock water injector spot (same exact bolt patern and gasket as cold start injector) I put a GM temp sensor.. And i have a AEM 3.5bar map sensor to mount. The map sensor has a 1/8" NPT thread on the end, and is round clyinder type in shape.
My plan is to buy a M16x1.5 to 1/8" NPT adapter and thread it right into the manifold where the stock air temp sensor was. But im wondering.. How sensitive are these things, seems like the stock one has a inline filter going to it to keep crap out of the sensor. Being mounted directly into the manifold am i risking messing up the sensor over time with the junk that goes though there? (by junk i mean all the stuff that makes the insides of those manifolds black, although i have no EGR now).
Alternative is to run a vacume line to the sensor and somehow mount it somewhere, I'd really rather have it right in the manifold, seems like it would get a better reading even.
