Default Vic Jr guys...where did you put your MAP sensor?

Just as the title says...how did you run your MAP sensor since there is no port specifically for it?

I would say "T" off of the brake booster, but seams how you re ditching that, I'd use that port with a pipe bushing.

So, I take it you feel the intake causes the problem with number 7?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's either that, a problem with the stock fuel rails getting some junk in them and temporarily clogging an injector, or my wideband reading incorrectly because it was too close to the turbo outlet. I'm going to solve all three potential problems with a Vic Jr, billet fuel rails, and a relocated wideband sensor.

I used the tapped hole in the #8 runner to install a vacuum tree with three outlets, the MAP sensor simply has a hose going to the tree.

there is also a small 1/8 npt port on the passenger side of the intake right where the carb pad is

if you have cathedral ports id go with the super vic, it has larger runners but a higher carb mount

Post #97 is how Parish ran his...

If you going to use the 4bbrl TB, then you could use an aluminum carb spacer and install some vacuum fittings in it, similar to the elbow Parish used...

Good Luck

Offtopic again but where is his thread where he sold it? I was looking through his posts and couldn't find it?
Sorry for the offtopic Chris, my camera is busted so I can't take a pic of my set-up.
