Default couple of turbo questions

on a stock b16a, theres 2 things connected to the intake tract, a hose that is connected to the valve cover and a sensor with 2 wires.

when boosting the b16a, where should i connect the hose from the valve cover? i heard that it's not good to just put a breather filter.

what do you call that sensor connected to the intake tract of a stock b16a? where do you guys put it once you boost your b16a?

i already have a vortech rising rate fmu, is that enough for my fuel concerns without changing to a high flow pump and fuel regulator?

You should always get a 255lph pump for boost. If your going to boost ~7 psi then yes, you should get an inline or intank 255lph feul pump.

The sensor is an IAT sensor, most people put it right after the airfilter, along w/ the hose to the valve cover..
You will need a larger INLINE fuel pump w/ that FMU...

thanks. so that thing is an IAT, but where do i put it when turbocharging? you said to put it right after the airfilter, so do you mean it should be put in between the filter and compressor inlet? coz in stock form, it's after the filter.

No. You should always get a better pump if you're using an FMU. If you were using larger injectors and a MAP sensor scaling circuit (or VAFC) you would be fine with the stock pump (as am I).
