anywhere in the engine bay with a vacuum line from the manifold. If you need these types of questions answered I hope you aren't installing a turbo kit yourself.

lol, because i've never seen one of these i shouldnt install a turbo kit? i've installed 2 turbo kits and 1 vortech kit.

the reason i was asking the question is because the one side of the sensor is threaded and has no cap like a boost gauge to lock in the vacuum line.

secondly, these map sensors claim to allow the stock ecu to read more boost, therefore, i didnt see how it would be possible by directly taking a hose and plugging it in the 3 bar map sensor.

Not as far as I know... and the Stock ECU uses MAF, not MAP...

it looks like you have zeitronix, did u install the boost sensor? if so, where/how. i mean, i could buy some type of fitting and put a hose on the threaded portion and then T a hose off the manifold pressure...

Yeah, the Zeitronix boost sensor is connected to a T in the line that comes off the plenum. My SSV has an additional bung that I'll use to connect the UTEC MAP sensor.

They mean when you already have a stock map sensor which our cars do not.
