Hey guys, just don't ask how this happened, but the MAP sensor threads for one of the bolts on my Cobb charge pipe got damaged. I have one bolt in it now w/ a lock washer (it's the n20 3.5 bar sensor). I've seen the 4bar sensor only HAS 1 bolt, but it also looks like it's designed with a slightly heavier bolt hole area.. Do you think I'm ok with just the one bolt in there or do I need to get those threads fixed and get that second bolt in there?

Without the bolt you'll likely leak boost.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the response. That was what I thought. I've been tuning/logging and so far it doesn't seem to be leaking BUT I don't like leaving things "half-assed" and this really was half assed.. so guess it's time to fix it right.

Why would it leak? It's the o-ring that forms the seal, not some kind of flat gasket that the bolts need to compress. The bolts are just there to make sure the sensor doesn't fly out.
