Map sensor

HELLCAT7 · Dec 11, 2017

Is this the correct location for the factory “map” sensor to be placed in the intake? Installed on 2011 Pro with 2012 Silber, KPA, aluminum air box, Dobeck. This seems logical to me but was told it usually dangles in the stagnant (heated) under hood air with the older turbo installs....

If it's a map sensor it should be fine, it senses the absolute air pressure, so temperature shouldn't affect it. If the sled runs fine then I'd leave it

I believe that is a tbap sensor that measures temp and barometric.
Just don't put it in the charge tube.

Hellcat I was curious if you could share more pics of your setup! I'm installing that same exact setup for a buddy and could use a few pics, thanks!

No problem Freak! Any area in particular or just some general shots of turbo related stuff?

The throttle body arrangement, the turbo and oil tank placement and some of the hose routing. Did you have to rotate the thermostat housing 180 and run a new hose by the clutches?

Dieselfreak, here is what I have and probably not much help. I do not have an oil tank as it’s set up with a KPA now and running off the oil injection pump. This setup does not require a t-stat housing rotate and cooling stays stock....ish

Everything is crammed in so tight that pics aren’t great for hose routing shots. Hope these help you.
