Oh, and I did something stupid (and minor) during the install, I removed the ambien temperature sensor for the digital dash display. I'm trying to figure out how to re-insert it without removing the bumper.

I didn't brake any of the metal pins, but I did have to reinstall the metal pins in the side marker and mess with them a couple times. They definitely don't like coming out very many times, and I am not sure they could have come up with a worse way to mount those things.

Where is that sensor located? I have noticed since my turbo kit install that it seems to read quite a bit higher until I get some good airflow going. It definitely doesn't seem to be as accurate as the one in my Toyota Tundra which I'm sure uses the same part number.

Yeah, I honestly think its the worst designed part of the car. They are just bound to break if you remove them a couple of times. On the driver's side, the clip came out and I was able to re-insert it. On the passenger side, it doesn't want to hold in anymore.

The sensor is located right in front of the AC condenser in the passenger side. It will now sit between the condenser and the IC, that is why you now get higher readings.

Took it out for a spin around the block today. There is some oil being burned by the exhuast area. I quadruple checked if it was the turbo oil pump, but it is clean. I am guessing its some old oil spilled while installing the pump.

Couldn't step too much in it since I still don't have the appropriate map for it. It does felt nice at around 4-5K RPM's at 5 psi. Didn't go any farther than that and did it only twice.

theoretical because I have the fuel and adjustable boost controller to go up to 14 psi. 3 bar sensor.
