Where is the stock boost sensor located? I realize after dropping in my motor and driving around, that i don't have this hooked up. (see pic below) Is it located on teh firewall of the r33 clip?

This must be the reason my car is cutting boost at wot...

Thanks!

Its probabally not cutting boost, its probabally going so rich that its stumbling.

My car did the same shiz when I had a vac/boost leak. cap that off along with any other holes you left open.

Yep, I used that to run to my boost gauge.

I forget exactly where the boost cut solenoid is since mine is now on the other side of the car lol.

But essentilly its small metal cylinder on a bracket near the turbo, has a plug and wires on it. If your not going to use it (i.e. you have a boost controller of some kind) then take the tubing and route the two ends together on it like a U and make SURE its still pluged in, cause the ECU likes it whether you use it or not.

So I have to use that? Because I took mine completely out.
