Turbo help and questions, Noob needs help restoring turbo celica Options

[ravinaziankid]

Hi, I am trying to piece this turbo celica back together and I have some questions. I am new to celicas and everything.

First is this sensor, I have a picture of it from my car but it's not the best, I will try to get a better pic of it. I just want to know what sensor that is(MAP?) and how to mount it onto the IC/intake pipes.



In this picture it's the sensor right next the coupling between the intake and the BOV pipe.


I also want to know how easy it is to weld a 1G DSM BOV onto the piping I am using. I bought the whole BOV with the stock piping, but the piping is way too small to work with. What are other ways to make this work? I can't seem to find the right coupling size to fit this to my IC piping.

I have other problems with leaking oil, but I am in the process of getting the oil feed fitting by mail and waiting to install it. Thanks Batman for the hookup.

I will probably be using this posting for any other questions or problems I run into later down the road of getting this car back to running good. BTW, this was owned by a past member from this site, which I recently found out. His name was Shin on the boards..just a little FYI..haha.

Air temp sensor for the intake, this belongs in the air box.

I've seen someone post that on a 5s-fte it should be in the boosted pipes (between IC and TB) and on the 3s-gte it should be in the vacuum pipes (between turbo inlet and air filter).

Personally I fail to see how a boost tight seal can be achieved like that, but you need to make a 20mm hole and get ahold of the grommet from the airbox.
