Bill, for what its worth, I use two small 1/8" hose on similar size tubes cast into the old N/A lower manifold.  I am not certain what Mazda used them for but, as far as I know  there is no manifold pressure take off near the Mazda throttle body.   I have had no problems - but I do take the pressure from two different primary intakes - perhaps that doubles the frequency of pulsation and makes it more easily damped by the air in the lines?  Also my primary tubes are interconnected at the throttle body mount.

Al,

My fuel pressure regulator (Airmotive) is getting its MAP from the two small (1/8 “) tubes that lay in the primary ports on the Renesis…Are you saying that I should move this pressure reference to someplace else?  You say you know it is not good…How do you know this?

Gentlemen;

Getting ready for plumbing, initial wiring, gearing up for first start.  Where is the best place to locate a MAP sensor in a turbo 20B, in the air box, or closer to a port?  Are there any hard and fast rules about this?

Greg;

 

Closer to the ports gives you lots of pulses in the signal.  I expect this is not good for the ECU, and I know it is not good for the MAP referenced fuel pressure regulator.  The MAP sensing is close to the ports on my setup, and I had to install signal damping.  I don’t know your configuration, but if you have a single TB feeding an air box, I’d put it in the air box.
