FEBI45079 Febi Boost-Pressure Sensor

This little guy basically measures how much boost, or pressurized air, your turbocharger is creating. It sends that information to the engine’s computer – the ECU – so the ECU can adjust things like fuel delivery and ignition timing to make sure everything is running optimally. It's a pretty straightforward device, really. It's an electronic signal, so it’s not like it’s controlling anything directly, just reporting the information. Think of it as a key piece in the puzzle for a turbocharged engine. The ECU needs to know what kind of boost you’re making to keep everything balanced. Without an accurate reading, the engine can run lean, which can cause damage. It’s typically mounted on the intake manifold or near the turbo itself. It’s usually pretty accessible, but sometimes it’s tucked away in a tight spot. A failing boost pressure sensor can cause a lot of issues. You’ll notice if it's bad because you might get a check engine light, and you could experience a loss of power, rough running, or even stalling. It acts like a shield, protecting your engine from potentially damaging conditions. If the sensor reads incorrectly, the ECU might think you’re making more or less boost than you actually are, and that throws everything off. They do fail over time, especially with heat cycling. You can find replacements pretty easily, we carry a lot of them at Fixparts Online, and it's generally a fairly straightforward repair for someone comfortable working on cars.
