I used a boost bolt. Take out one of the intake manifold bolts and replace. The boost bolt had a hole through it and was threaded at the top to accept the correct fittings.

i have one in the intake manifold and the other in the s pipe between hairdryers.
the boost bolt is a quick, cheap, easy, and reliable method too.

I also used the intake manifold. I put the sensor right in the back facing the firewall. It works just fine.

Yes you can. That's what I meant to say. I took the air horn off, drilled and tapped it. It took about 15 minutes.

Good deal. I love the DTR. So much info. I put my gauges in about two days ago and it's so nice to see what my engine is doing.
