Can someone give me a quick reply on where to find the MAP sensor on my LB7. NOT MAF but MAP. Thanks

The BOOST sensor is near the Intake air heater. follow the air coming from the intercooler. The air plenum obscures view a bit. The Baro is over kinda below the upper radiator hose/pipe.

There is a bracket right next to the intake air heat held down by 1 10mm nut/stud and 1 10mm bolt.

Undo those and pull the bracket up, might have to wedge up the crossover tube, but it will come up.

Also, there is a small hose (about 2.5in long) on the bottom going to the intake so when you pull the map up, it will discount from either the map or nipple (better to discount by hand.

Why does PPE and the Chevy dealership claim there is a Manifold absolute pressure sensor somewhere on this thing with a hose and a sensor. Also I read post here about boost pressures saying that even if you can "fool" the wastgate there is still another "system" that is protecting the turbo??? And how are these guys getting 38+ pounds of boost when at 36psi the ECM defuels you and codes you out??? We are still trying to get boost up to around 35 with the "new" refueled PPE HOT box.

Just recieved my Predator from Eric. '03 Chevy, LB7.

Should the Real Time data in diagnostics provide Boost info, there is a Line Labeled for it but the reading is always Zero.

Thanks.
