I have the Treadstone lower pipe. Found it needed to be modified so that the sensor didn't rest on the AC compressor or the fans for the radiator.

Ccrunner made this awesome little adapter so that I could run the sensor parallel instead of perpendicular to the pipe. Works like a charm.

The stock pipe sets the sensor at an angle but the Treadstone does not. I also drilled and tapped one of the mounting holes for the vac fitting since the 3 BAR maps only have 1 mounting point.

Thanks! It's a nice pipe. I'm glad I finally got to use it.

Maybe you guys could look into making them this way??

I'd def buy their piping if they modified it like that. My current hahn lower charge piping has the same issue.

Doesn't ZZP's lower charge pipe move the MAP sensor away from the ac compressor?

Yeah, it puts it up near the throttle body.

Dude, that is some awesome fab work. You da man, as far as I'm concerned. You engineered it better than Treadstone did. You better patent it before they steal it.
