Map sensor is mounted 'on top' of the A/C evaporator box.. Near the blower motor.. It has 3 studs with nuts sticking 'up' attaching it and bracket to the box.. Passenger/right side at the firewall.. It also has a rubber hose/red spring clamps that attaches to the intake.. Good luck with the install..

Thanks HP
I think I'm stuck tonight .
I'm actually hooking up a X-Monitor and was drilling for the pyro starting small and steping up in drill size . I get to the 7/16 bit and can't locate my 1/2 inch drill......I tried using bubble gum and duct tape in the 3/8 drill with no luck
Oh well I'll finish up tomorrow
Thanks again!!!

Monster duty If I may make a suggestion. forget about going into the map sensor if you have a 2004 it will cause the gage to fluctuate. I ended up tapping into the intake elbow. when I had it in the map sesor I could'nt even tell what the boost was it fluctuated so bad and made a loud buzzing sound. After tapping the intake elbow, it works perfectly. Hope this helps. Jerry

Mine is taped into the map line too. no problems either. The line comes straight up out of the pass i think valve cover and sticks into the bottom of the map sensor. Maybe 10" of rubber hose wrapped in plastic.

I had the same problem the other night! Mine ('03) MAP line is red but is covered completely with the same sheath as all the wiring, so I was looking right at it for 30 minutes. Like the guys said, pass side "valve cover" up to the MAP which hangs on a bracket on the firewall.

The fluttering only happens on the 2004 models for some reason. I never had it happen to my 1996 or the 2003. The gages are banks. there is a big discussion about this on another site. When I said above that is fluctated, that was a missunderstatement it actualy fluterd from 30 down to zero and back. All is fine now that I have tapped into the intake elbow where some of you guys installed water injection nozzles.

I have another question for everyone .
Where did you guys tap in for a power source for your gauges ?
I notice under the dash there's several wires coming out of a wire loom .
The red,white,blue and black goes inside the engine compartment, the other 4 wires are for what ?

You will see a (red with yellow trace) wire for switched ignition power. Instrument lighting power (yellow) 2nd from the top left of the grey connector.
