It wont blow out...... no matter how much boost you are running when the throttle is open all the pressure is going into the throttle body,come off the throttle and the pressure is relieved either through the resurculating valve or a vta.... could prob just poke the probe in the pipe and not worry about it,i just added a blob of silicone to be certain.

 

I dont have any dump valve

 

Got to be different.........

Still think it will be ok though

 

Could be because your sensor is just measuring ambient air temp and that will not change very quickly. Seal it into the charge circuit somewhere and I reckon you'd find it goes up and down much faster.

 

Thanks S.R.!
Time to call the local Subaru shop :-)

 

where my temp gauge is the tempchanges every second

 

I've ordered one too, should be here tomorrow fingers crossed

What was the sensor like, did you just slip it under the throttle body hose?

Cheers,

Tony.

 

those are identical kits to the maplins kit,only the maplins one doesnt light up,will have to check the wiring booklet it came with to see if it can,the maplins one, if wired up too, can display the time also at the push of a button,plus loads of other features, alarms etc, but these need adding on.

 

No idea how much an STi3/4/5 sensor costs from the dealer but it won't be cheap. Try a scrappies and make sure you get the plug and a short bit of wiring with it.

 

Heh, I tried getting a new one via swedish dealer/garage and also a good tuner. It's off their map as nobod sold classic shape STi's in Sweden
Sourced one from UK now
I'm sure I'll be in touch when I can't figure out where to put the wire....

Think I wil be ordering one of these

 

I fitted on of these to my last Impreza and it stopped working after 1 day.

Before that I had the one from Maplins which was less than £10 and it is still working. Only problem is the one from Maplins said on the box it can cycle every 1 second or 7 seconds. This wasn't true, it was set as it came from the factory at 7 seconds and couldn't be changed.

The maplins one i have also was set to cycle at the slow rate,but connecting two terminals together (been a while so memory fails me as to which) set it to cycle every second.....

 

yeah,the maplins one is more for electronic nerds so to speak LOL.

you can do a hell of alot with it, but it requires wires being solderd on etc and beepers etc adding,but it is capable,the cycle refresh needs,as has been said, a wire joinin pin 1 and 8 i think it is together.
