Where To Place Map Sensor For New Vipec Install

[GTR1993]

Hey, just swapping over to my vipec plugin next week. I have always heard about issues with individual throttle bodies and map sensors. Where is the best place to take the reference from for my map sensor?

I done a search and came up with more questions then answers.

I know power fc says to drill and tap in 3 and 4 runners after the TBs, some say to go off the balance tube. I have only worked with single TB cars with map sensors before.

Cheers

If you live in Sydney go and see Scott at Insight Motorsports or give him a call.

My Vipec is just teed off the FPR vacuum line. No dramas here.

I've been considering moving it to the rear vacuum line where the stock boost gauge is used, just so that it looks tidier. It looks like that point would be at the same pressure. Anyone got any feedback?

Yea i was thinking the same, it "should" be fine as the FPR needs a fairly stable vacuume source anyway, and the balance tube on top if feeding the reg. Should be fine for the map sensor. I just wanted to check.

Also does the vipec plugin use the standard inlet temp sensor on the rb26 of you install your own?
