RPD Boost Signal

Does anyone know where the RPD picks up its boost signal from? I think mine has officially kicked the bucket. It must not get it from the MAP sensor because the car would be in limp mode if that took a crap. There is a vac line that goes from the cold side boost tube right next to the MAP up the front of the motor through a little sensor of some sort then into a T. Im thinking this is the one. Anyone know for sure?

Sometimes my car does this, but it comes right back with no CELs, I also have the Trifecta infiniboost tune so that could be wrong but it literally comes back in a few seconds.

Really? Im nervous now lol. Im not sure that is where I think it gets the signal from but im not sure. Do you have a tune? Do you still have your warranty? If you do, I guess take it to the dealership.

Talked to Vince. Seemed to be a side effect from my tune. He sent me a "patch", uploaded it and the RPD came right back on
