AMS VSR and MAP sensor placement

AMS,

How do you suggest the MAP sensor be mounted in reference to the plenum?

Directly on the plenum?
- I'd almost think the signal would be "noisey"..

Small lead of hose to the sensor?
- Small "buffer" for what I mentioned above..

Some form of 'secondary' plenum such as a vacuum block.

I'd like AMS's thoughts..

If its the factory MAP, we have an adapter block for it.

If its any other map, we have mounted them in the manifold directly, to a vac line off the mani, to a vac line from a distribution block and to a vac line off the TB port.

Any preference?

I'm currently running it off a short (maybe 4") vac line to help buffer any 'noise' and smooth the signal for more consistant load reference. Seems to be working just fine, just curious if you guys had any specific reasoning to go with a specific method.

Try to make sure you are not tapping off of one of the ports directly opposite of a runner. Martin and Chris have seen that cause some small tuning issues. There is one port that sits right between two runners. use that one.
