Would that route make it to an A-Pillar? Have you checked the accuracy? I read anything over 3" will make for an inaccurate reading.

From what i have seen in my logs which use an OMNI Power 4 bar map its pretty close as far as I can tell. I might one day tie it into the ECU and log it as well to compare.

Not sure if the wiring will reach but you can always splice more wire to make it reach.

Ok here is the connector. The red green and Black wires need to be removed. These are for the MAP sensor. Just use a small screw driver to push down the small tabs that hold the pin into the harness, pull while pushing on tabs to release pin from harness. The Crimped ends you just removed will go from the engine bay into the cabin and then you will reconnect them into the harness in the same locations.



Now here is where I went through the cabin into the engine bay. I drilled at that spot out to the engine bay.



Another View:



This is where it came out into engine bay. this is where you feed the map sensor wire into the cabin. I taped the ends with tape to feed them through together.



Where i tapped into the Hose for the Map sensor.



And where i secured the MAP sensor.




Hope this helps.

I think it's best to tap as close the Intake Manifold as possible and place the MAP sensor there.

The best method would be to tap the IM itself and screw the AEM map right into the IM.

Ok so I'm back. And it seems like the hose provided doesn't fit the map fitting. How long is the hose. And does the aem gauge come with a tee fitting?

Yes, it comes with a T fitting and the hose that comes with it doesn't fit.

Not true, My gauge came with all the hardware needed to install this. The Map sensor came with an adaptor also that screwed into the larger AN fitting and the hose supplied and Tee fitting both fit the hose and the stock hose I taped into.

I got mine from Lancershop and it was all included in the AEM box.

Everything should fit on correctly, and it should come with all the hardware. I took my AEM gauge to a shop and they installed everything that came with it with no problems. GL.

I pulled one of the Fuses out and sandwiched the power wire for the gauge behind the fuse as I pushed it back in. But they make Piggy back fuses that have a wire coming out of it to use to power accessories.
