Now Featuring new EQT 5BAR PUT Sensor!
Whenever upgrading your turbocharger to a larger than stock unit, and looking to produce more than 29Psi of boost pressure (Manifold Relative Pressure / Boost) you need to upgrade your TMAP and PUT Sensor in order to allow the ECU proper visibility and control over the pressure.
With this sensor package, you have a plug-and-play solution to do just that!
This package includes two parts;
- EQT 5 Bar TMAP (Temperature / Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor that plugs right into the OEM location on top of the intake manifold and utilizes a factory connector so no wiring, adapter harness, or need to modify your intake manifold!
- EQT 5 Bar PUT (Post Upstream Throttle) that is installed right into your OEM or aftermarket throttle pipe.
Do I need them?
Upgraded Sensors are a necessary upgrade for any Big turbo, if you're on pump gas or E85, this package will allow you to make the most power your turbocharger has to offer.
On EQT Vortex equipped vehicles, there are still power gains to be made beyond the stock sensor limits (29 Psi) with peak boost pressure around 33-34 Psi.
** Custom Tuning Is Required. Will not work on factory/staged tunes.
Installation
The EQT 5 Bar TMAP will go in place of the OE G71/G42 sensor as seen in the diagram below, the 5 Bar PUT sensor will go in place of the OE G31 Sensor.
Please reference your Factory Service Manual for the correct procedure.

Sensor Scaling
TMAP & PUT Sensor Scaling
Voltage | Bar | Millibar | Kpa |
0.5v | 0 Bar | 0.0 mbar | 0 kpa |
4.5v | 5 Bar | 5000 mbar | 500 kpa |
Your ECU may use different units for scaling. While metric units are just a matter of moving the decimal, the commonly found units are provided above.
*NOTE: Requires tune with proper sensor scaling. Will not work on factory/staged tunes
