Sir as always, I know that if I need a 335i answer, your channel is a very solid resource. I needed understanding of my TMAP sensor. I'm considering a JB4 and needed to know where it's located to verify the TMAP connector type. You explained that it's located on the charge pipe. Thank you for all of your educational KZbin videos!

[@joCk3]

Bro you are my hero! I plugged in my N20 map sensor and it threw my a CEL directly at startup. Then I thought of this video and it solved it right away! Just swapped the cables and she ran great! So thank you. Btw your videos are great and very informative. Subscribed.

If you have the mboost option do you still have to have the n20 sensor? I'm running the mboost without the n20 sensor. Im at 20 psi on a custom tune.

[@VehicularDIY]

If you were pushing slightly more boost you would want it. At 20psi you can just get by with the stock sensor.

[@c.niemannphotography4130]

I have a strange question. I actually broke one of the prongs on my pressure switch the other day. Number 4 prong I broke. Is there a way I can fix this without replacing it or maybe changing the connections like you show in your video? Or can I turn the sensor off manually so I don’t get reduced power mode. I’ve got a MHD stage 1+ tune

[@Surfo1980]

Nice Video, but one question... if you have external boost gauge, there is no need to upgrade the sensor right?... stock sensor won´t limit the boost even if it is above what it reads?

Hello there I’ve been following and watching our videos absolutely love them great DIY‘s appreciate all the knowledge you shared with the Bmw community. I’m currently running into an issue when installing the N20 map sensor. I did the Harness swap as you showed in this video then go into my JB4 Mobile and select 3.5 n20 map sensor. I also have a back in flash through MHD but when I go to rewrite that map in mhd it will not allow me to select the map sensor sense it is only a back end flash. So I have to select it in my Jb4. but when I go to start my car it’s acting as if it nothing was changed in the Jb4 and car ideal like crap could this be do to the fact that I have a back end flash and it does not work with a mhd back end flash and Jb4 working together or do I need to ditch one or the other sorry for the long comment just looking for an answer from a reliable source look forward to hearing from you thanks again

Yes it does, the new info gets written to the DME when you check the option when flashing.

[@NardoGreyRam]

Hey man great video Just wanted to ask that theoretically the 2.5 bar sensor should be able to take up to 36 psi, I mean if you do the math just a simple calculation from bar to psi (1 bar is around 14 psi) so how come the 2.5 bar sensor on the n54 can take up to 18 psi only?

[@VehicularDIY]

Thanks you subtract regular atmospheric pressure first. So 36 - 14 = 22.

[@VehicularDIY]

Sounds like you're not targeting more than 18.5 PSI so you should be fine with your stock map sensor. You have the supporting mods to make going to around 21.5 psi worth while. So if you're considering that and want a custom tune then you'd want to the N20 map sensor. Are you running ethanol?

[@allenmessi4636]

Vehicular DIY no just stage 2+ w 93 pump gas, it lays down 440rwhp, kills a scat pack and I've beat a stingray before, i don't think it would be wise going any higher as i am a high school student and i can't afford new turbos

[@VehicularDIY]

440whp on pump gas is awesome. Yeah then the N20 sensor won't really add value without the custom tune. If your stock one goes bad then might as well upgrade it just incase but otherwise you should be fine with the stock sensor. I'm going to start with a tune up to 22 psi then I'm going to upgrade my turbos but mostly for the channel. Not sure how much longer this will be a practical daily but I want to show you guys what can be done with the platform.

Do you have an email address you could share? I would like to talk to you about Log Dyno. I have also added a new feature so it is not only for measuring performance, but optimal shift points can be calculated with a press of a button. With the stock twins we run out of torque up top, so you need to shift earlier but it differs in each gear and depends on the torque curve and gear ratios. This can be calculated to achieve the best possible acceleration.
