The sensor goes into the pipe work not the cooler :smiley:
I think there is another one for £75 but is abit thicker at 70mm ( may be wrong.

Why is it you wanting the s3 manifold? Performance or looks? As there are no performance gains...
Good luck anyway pal  :smiley:

Because I don't like the look when the pipe swings around the TIP

No worries then pal just didn't If someone had said to you that bam inlets are better as the Internet is known for bigger up bam parts.

But answer I your original question forge do a alloy part for the sensor  :smiley:

I did it the S3 way, I too didn't like the pipework over the TIP, it is awkward to get the piping lined up, but looks good when you do, you will need the K04 rear charge pipe bracket support with heat shield or the charge pipe will get ridiculously hot

The bit above the pipe

You will need to get it from a breakers or somebody breaking a Leon Cupra R, 225 TT or S3

That support doesn't have the heat shield part attached it's just the bracket

I didn't use the standard (red pipe in pic)
I ordered a 63-51mm reducer at 90 degrees and it pushes the charge pipe more to the drivers side of the bay.
You will also need to get an LCR/S3/TT fuel rail as the standard 1.8T one will make the fuel lines impede/rub on the charge pipe
