Thread: 1.4T Baro sensor

    1.4T Baro sensor

    Where is the baro sensor located on the A14NET engine?
    Under higher airflow/boost with a bigger turbo, the baro sensor starts to read into vacuum. Does that mean the air filter is restrictive? It has a drop-in K&N higher flow air filter.
    Does anybody have a log showing a similar example on another engine?

    some use a map sensor bolted to a lug on the block or manifold just in open air if it has a separate dedicated baro sensor, but that shouldnt change value like ur mentioning

    I think by baro he probably means the actual MAP sensor or a low res boost sensor?

    On this application, the BARO sensor is in the MAF assembly. If it reads vacuum, yes, that means your intake system is restrictive.

    That was indeed the case, turned the air filter assembly (below the filter, obviously) into swiss cheese and it solved the problem partially. The baro sensor doesn't read 90 kPa anymore, it tops at about 95-96 kPa (99-100 kPa actual barometric pressure).
    The K&N drop in pod filter is still too restrictive, and another solution needs to be found.
