Afternoon all,

It is now time for me to install the MAC valve to suppor tthe change across to Standalone ECU (Link), Question is, where is the reccomended / ideal location for mounting the valve itself, The vac cable and wiring is installed and passes throught the bulk head bear to the Aircon condensate drain point.

Thoughts from thos who use a MAC valve please, 

Thanks

Assume you mean MAP sensor?

This needs to go after throttle bodies so anywhere you can fabricate it into the plenum. Depending on what stage of deletes you are at there is the take off for the fuel solenoid left hand side of plenum. This may be the same thread as the sensor. Or drill and tap the valve into the plenum or modify the balance bar to accept it. The options are endless.

Hi Marty, the Map sensor is integral to the ECU, the boost will be controlled via the MAC valve, im just looking for locations that others have used to mount the MAC valve itself, its only a small thing, however.....................

That’s just the manufacturer. That is though a regular boost solenoid and you just need to plumb in a line and should have come with barbs to for the silicone hose on the end. All it is wanting to read is boost pressure so plumb it into the boost lines.

Manifold Air Pressure though would be its own sensor and is what AEM ECUs use which therefore you can get rid of the MAF as it uses the MAP signal pressure rather than monitoring MAF.

I’ve never used Link ECU so just check what it is running does it want a MAF signal or a MAP signal.
