mschafe Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I was picking through my vacuum lines yesterday looking for leaks, and came across a small black box on the passenger side fender that says 'Boost Sensor' on it. It has a vaccum hose connected to the intake and another electrical connection. Now the car is a carbed ea82, so I can't figure out why they'd put a boost sensor in there unless it's universal for all the engine types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJM Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 So you can turbo it. I really dont know. It might be the sensor that opens the boost flaps...aka the secondaries....maybe? Im just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 If I remember right that's a part of the high altitude compensation system. The part itself is basicaly a Absolute pressure sensor. It probably says boost on it because one of the other Japanese auto makers originaly designed it to be use as a boost sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
