So i came home today to find 2 massive boxes!

you cnt use the map sensor on topof the charger you have to have the 2bar sensor that courtenays charge and fit it to the inlet manifold :)

ok so if i put it in the manifold, what is meant to plug the hole up and the plug that i was on about is very loose in the hole.

Courtenays do a plug for the SCIP (Supercharger Inlet Pressure) hole on the top of the charger. However it is a rip off for what it is, a small piece of metal or suitably sized bolt and some glue will surfice. The 2 bar MAP sensor that courtenays provide is too small for the hole on the top of the inlet manifold as standard. I removed the orange rubber around it, layered up some electrical around it and then stretched the orange rubber over the tape thus increasing the diameter until it was a snug fit. As an extra precaution I also sealed it in with some silicone gasket sealant but that was just me going overboard. I also modified the bracket holding the SCIP inplace to use to hold the MAP sensor in place.

right cheers, thats cleared 2 questions up that i had.

2 other questions: the pipe that comes from the supercharger near the throttlebody, where does that go? and the tiny pipe from the inlet manifold, whats this for? (it was covered in a yellow tube)

The pipe on the back of t/b goes to charcoal canister pipe the bigger one on the front goes to the servo pipe.and the tiny pipe on the intake to the fuel rail thumbsup
