Meth kit??????? Boost signal

Guys that are using standalone meth kits not bms meth kit. Where are you guys getting boost signal from. I hear chargepipe isn’t accurate. Jordan from rk told me to go with a n55 boost sensor adapter, which I think I’m gonna go that route. Just curious who else used this and how well it worked for them. Is there other options. Thanks in advance

Charge pipe is fine - the TMAP sensor like 10” further on the IC anyways.

Here is my stand alone setup. Boost signal is coming from nipple inside charge pipe.

Isn?t using BMS a much safer route due to the ability to reduce/stop boost when there?s a meth issue? Something I don?t think the stand alone kits have the ability to do.

Others could chime in but I believe there’s a fail safe on most kits. But not sure

BMS is the only one that can actually failsafe boost targets. Other kits don't integrate with the boost controller.
