3 Bar sensor

[EcoPowerParts]

The one before the throttle body is the 3 bar sensor, the one on the manifold is a 2 bar.

In my Flex, that sensor which I purchased from Torrie to put on top of the intake, is identical to the one on the side of the pipe just in front of the TB.

Correct the tip sensor is a 3 bar

So why is it that there is no 2nd mounting bolt? No hole drilled for it for that matter, my car is exactly the same.

My 2010 has both bolts (1 on either side of the sensor).

I believe in 2011, the bean counters hired by FMC got involved, and began figuring out how to reduce costs (.01 here, another .01 over there, etc,) and dediced to lop off one bolt from that model year and onward.

No real reason other than that.

If they save the cost of the bolt, the cost of drilling/tapping that 2nd hole, as well as the time it takes to fasten/screw that bolt down, or the time to drill/tap out the hole to, etc. etc.

You multiply that, by however many 3.5 Eco motors produced....

And you save a lot of money.

That's just like our 2010 EB Torque Converters... They have 4 bolts.... The 2011 on have 3, just like the non-EB 3.5 engine.

So 2013's are faster because they weigh less?  1 screw/ bolt at a time

Kind of throws a whole monkey wrench into the theory of any 1st model run/year of any given car, is somehow taboo, or destined to be worse than any subsequent, following years produced.

Makes me almost happy to own the 2010 that I do.

Especially if those dasterdly bean counters get involved and start whittling away various parts all throughout the car, with the sole purpose in mind of simply cost cutting measures.

After your turbo install, I'm sure you will have some missing bolts also !!!!!!

FYI... Several of us... who want to remain secret... (including me...) are going to 4 bar sensors... Performance gain expected... UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!

Makes your stock turbos feel like babes again!!!!

I would rather have my awesome brakes than your extra sensor bolt.

That being said, your ride is still awesome!
