Thumbs up

okay, I looked in the FSM and I can't really tell what the part I am looking at is.



To the left the intercooler (stock), there is supposed to have two tubes going into a little Y-pipe type thing that has two wires going into it, but on side it broke off. So the previous owner just attached both lines together. Is this bad? What is the little

box thing, what does it do, and could this have caused any previous problems.



I also was wondering, where the boost sensor is/or is it the y-pipe thing.



It really sucks when you try to fix up a car that was mainly ghetto-riged everything, but for $800 bucks, I can't comlplain!

The pressure sensor is located by the stock airbox on the strut tower. It is a little black box (about 1" x 2"), it has a vac line going to to it, and a few wires. I belive it even says pressure sensor on it too.

thanks for the help, what is the aws valve, and would it be bad to cap off both ends? What would this tell the computer, with the wires and all?

if you leave it electircally plugged in the computer will never know, you just wont have it go to 3000rpms on startup
