Turbo Advice

Hey guys, im just looking for advice or some aid on where and how to mount sensors? Ive searched high and low and really im just starting to get sick of reading through 100 pages posts and getting garbage. Please if you dont know, dont answer, I want informed answers and something which many people doing swaps in the future can use for aid.


I want to know where to mount the sensors, because when doing a turbo swap theres sensors that were on installed before, that go where?(no one thread ive looked through has helped me, as theres too much OOOOO and AAAAAA, thus i usually hate lookign through them). This is i know the 90% stage right, but its also the annoying stage. So lets try and make it easier for others.

Might be a tough question but many people should be able to help out,



So for those unsure of what im asking

Im looking for where u mounted ur MAF sensor? where was it best mounte? less codes(if its possible)

What did u do about the valve actuator for your supercharger? Obviously I know it gets removed, but is there a certain table to tuned? If so which one?
For those who used the factory intake manifold did u just block it off the hole?

The sensor attached to the top of your supercharger?
(I really dont know the name, I may inspect further to find a true name? But im sure someone knows what its called)

The boost bleeding sensor, what did u guys do with it? i believe it also monitors the vacuum pressure? So i do believe its essential

If im missing any sensors let me know, it has honestly been a long time since i've even looked at my car or anything to do with it. I have been way to busy, and D-date is slowly getting closer.

Deleting the supercharger and keeping the factory altenator and belt set-up. What did u guys do for the pulley that needs to exist, is there certain measurements ive missed? If so what are they? Is there a product for sale?


P.S.
Also any links to the tuning how to's would be cool, its been a long long long time. Its gonna be an uphill battle for the rest of the summer, but will be well worth it.

as for the maf sensor..keep it closer to the intake mani. like about 12-18 inches. it may also help tuning wise to run larger piping in terms of not maxxing out your stock sensor

The MAF sensor in the Saab is about 10" from the filter. The best place to put it is in a straight section of tubing, so it doesn't get weird results. Before the turbo, of course.

All the other turbo LSJ guys are running a blow through system. Meaning the MAF is located just before the throttle body. That IMO is the best setup, and I believe others would agree.

The sensor on top the SC is the Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor. Heres a thread made for someone else going turbo:

There are a few vendors here that have a supercharger delete kit. I believe RAW is one of them? Its basically just a pulley that sits in place of where the SC used to be.

The information is out there, look in my thread and you will see what to do with the MAF, SCIP, and the alternator belt. The boost bypass module you can just leave unplugged and kill the codes.

By the way how are you tuning the car??? HP tuners??

If i remember correctly you sold me the HPtuners and it NEVER showed up and i had to fight with you for 6 months to get my money back, you said it was lost in the mail.
