Default sonnax installation

Anyone got any help to where this thing goes. I've looked through the threads and the service manual. Someone point me in the right direction.

Its under some of the heat shield, insulation stuff. You'll have to pull it back to get to the connector. That's just what I got from the fluid pressure DIY in the ram forums. I'd link it if I wasn't on my phone.

Yes, found it and done. Do I need to disconnect the battery?

Its a good idea, I'll probably forget when I do mine.. I don't think it will harm anything since its just an ultra low voltage pressure sensor.

The sonnax only comes to play under WOT. I notice a real diference between it by itself and it with the tuner.
