Question regarding the location of MAP sensor on my S3/LCR engine

[F17BAD]

I have it located on the warm side of the charge (Before the intercooler)

Iv since found out on the donor car it was after the intercooler (just before throttle body)

Does anybody know if my location will casue me any issues or power loss, incorrect readings  etc ??

i dont think it matters mate tbh.. on my old 1.8t is was in the intercooler..

[F17BAD]

i think im gonna relocate it to after the cooler to be sure

[tech1889]

All it does is read pressure so its doesnt matter mate.. as long as its manifold side your fine save yourself the hastle

Mines in my ecu, so doubt it does matter.

Yea, saw it. He knows his way around these engines i think. I'm sure he's done some pressure drop tests too. Before and after IC. Should see/feel an improvement in that alone
