infernosg's S5 N/A Build

[C. Ludwig]

What he has is the same thing, just in a different molding. The one he has is actually a higher quality sensor than the one pictures above. We had a bunch of that style returned because they failed in a short time, while the one INFERNOSG has seems quite robust.

INFERNOSG, you have the clockwise rotation sensor (white center). There is a counter-clockwise sensor (black center) that you can use if you install it correctly. This sensor would allow you to orient the connector on top instead of the bottom. You would slide the sensor on the shaft, twist it 180* until the bolt holes line up, then torque it down. The output of the sensor is then reversed, but this is something the software will compensate for. Just calibrate it as you normally would. I can get you a sensor if you'd like to try it. If it doesn't work, send it back.

The best solution, IMO, would probably be to find a 90* boot for the connector and use the sensor you have. FWIW, the car in the pic below used a TWM throttle body on RB lower. The same sensor you used worked just fine. Obviously, the alignment could of been a little different with the different pieces.

As far as the filters, what I've done with the ITB setups is to build a plenum over the engine and run an intake tube to the front. Gives the benefits of the plenum and allows you to draw cooler air from the front of the car.
