No problem right? All the work of installation was really done - just the simple TMAP sensor install.
Well - once I got the new seal , I attempted to install the Cleaned Sensor and with new seal. OMG -- it does not fit!!!
After reviewing the OEM Chargepipe I noticed a significant chamfer on the opening of the port. While the VRSF ChargePipe MAP Sensor opening is only deburred but NO CHAMPHER. (see photos)
I have now taken the entire IC and ChargePipe back off the car and I guess I will go to Home Depot to buy a champher bit .
So -- Lesson Learned: Check that your VRSF ChargePipe will accept the TMAP Sensor. The way that it is (without a champher) -- you will either break the TMAP or trash the seal on installation. I have pushed like hell to get mine installed. Once I champher the opening - I am sure it will compress the seal and be a tight fit.
How frustrating!!!!!!!

I had a vrsf chargepipe and it rubbed on my steering rack till it poked a hole through. Their chargepipe isn't made right to fit directly, most people have problems like me
