this can be used on turbo engines? description says for naturally aspirated vehicles http://www.DIYAutoTune.com/catalog/gm-c ... -p-58.html
* I read on other forums that if you used open element IAT sensor (plastic material) the boost pressure can break the filament and enter to the combustion chamber*

Re: IAT sensor
It reacts a bit more slowly and so we do not recommend it on turbo applications. While cracking the open element is a theoretical possibility, I've never heard a customer reporting it actually happened. Also, it would be more likely to be cracked by air speed rather than air pressure. If the charge pipes are a reasonable diameter, that shouldn't happen.

the piping form the turbo is 2.25" and will go over the throttle body to 2.5" and will be running up to 20psi of boostMatt Cramer wrote:It reacts a bit more slowly and so we do not recommend it on turbo applications.
