Do I need the MDP(MAP) sensor?

[rich3389]

I am putting a 1g intake mani and tb on my 2g....I did not find a clear answer on whether or not I need to have the MDP sensor hooked up or not since there is no spot to put it on the 1g mani. Any input?
I am not worried about CEL's and I have the egr blocked.

Yes you do need the mdp/map sensor on a 2G.

You may need this:
eBay Motors: 1st Gen Mitsubishi Eclipse Intake Manifold 6 Bolt 2Gen (item 290171158510 end time Feb-12-08 10:57:52 PST)

Yes you should have it on there.

But I would recommend looking for something like this:
DSM Performance Parts Turbo Eclipse Talon - 4G63 6 Bolt swap 95-99 2G MAP Relocation

I know other places sell them, but I just can't remember where. If I find a link, I'll post it up.

In your case, you do not need a MDP sensor.

RRE talks a bit about the sensor here. Its purpose is to check the operation of the EGR. However, an adapter will save you from the CEL.

+1 on that adapter - thats a cheap,reliable solution.

I havent had one on my car in years. If you dont mind the CEL then dont worry about connecting the MDP sensor.

Nope, i also haven't had one on for years, its now replaced with a gm 3.3 bar. Like already stated if you don't care about CEL don't worry about it.
