Bill, just hack the Z32 up, and fit it to the piping.

Cut around the square box, leaving you with the electronics and the sensor sticking out.

Drill a large hole in your cooler piping, big enough to fit the sensor into.

Get some 2x30 ally plate (or similar), and make a 4-sided box to the size of the electronics box, and have them welded to the pipe. Youll have to contour 2 of the plates to suit the round pipe.

Then get some sikaflex, seal it up, and put some screws through the plates and into the afm. Might want to take the lid off to make sure you dont drill into the board inside.

Ive been running 22-23 psi through this and no dramas!

Illl see if I have a pic at home tonite.

^ damn thats a clean job! how much?

[Adriano]

Unfortunately im in the process of selling my house, so i couldnt do it within a week. I usually use alloy, as i can get alloy enclosures and mesh.

I am extremely interested in doing this and I have a question or two. For a start, for the people who have done this, has anyone had any issues with boost leak? How do you seal the AFM element? Is the electronic/ circuit board part exposed to the vacuum/boost conditions?

Secondly has there been any improvement in driveability? if you have had hunting issues in the past, has this helped fix the issue?
