This page discusses air connections

The most frequently used sensor is the MPX4250AP (see WebShop). It mates with standard 6x4 (6mm external, 4 mm internal).

The higher temp, 180C capable tube is much more expensive than the 80C tube (7.8 Euro/m), but required for turbo systems.

There are 2 types of connectors:

* only bears pressure, not recommended for vacuum (useful for BoostControl)

* the one that bears vacuum, (this also bears pressure !!)

TODO: pictures

There is (currently) only a common connector-item in the WebShop, you can write the (reference name + size of) selected connector(s) in the order note.

||reference name (without size) || one side || other side || 3d side || note||

|| VVV || vacuum-bearing || vacuum-bearing || vacuum-bearing || popular T for MAP connection ||

||VIV || vacuum-bearing ||vacuum-bearing|| - ||popular lengthening or through a plate (eg. frontplate)||

|| PPP || pressure-bearing || pressure-bearing || pressure-bearing || boost side only !!! ||

|| MV || male thread || vacuum-bearing || - || can be bolted into a body ||

|| VV || vacuum-bearing ||vacuum-bearing|| - || lengthening||

* 6*4 mm VIV is the most popular to get MAP signal through the frontplate.

* 5*3 mm VIV will be popular with the 4bar pressure sensor

* the assymetric 5*3 mm on one side, 6*4 mm on other side VIV will be popular with the 4bar pressure sensor, if someone likes the thicker 6*4mm tube outside the ECM.

* 6*4 mm VVV is a popular T

AFAIK there is no clamp hose for the connection (eg. tube with MPX4250AP sensor) nor it is needed. (someone confirms?). It does not easily come off anyway.
