VPC Temp. Sensor Thread Size?

[empera]

couldnt really find this but i need to buy a tap size for this...im pretty sure its a metric size but all i found were standard sized tap kits, i was going to just use a 10mm nut with it but afraid it'll drop into the TB...
anyone know wat the size is and where can i find the proper tap? i've looked in my local hardware store(s).

Easiest way to find out is just to make a trip to a hardware store, screw the sensor to the size hole there. Previous owner of my car installed it in my 3000pipe drilled it taped it, and used a teflon tape. Very easy.

Same exact size as your standard EGT probe. 1/8 NPT is the tap size.

NP, one thing I forgot to mention for anyone else doing this. It's much more important to tap the VPC hole properly then the EGT hole. Air leak there is bad. So what I did was run the tap in about 1/3 of the way in, just barely enough so the sensor would thread in and get tight before the thread ended while still getting enough bite. Mine didn't require any teflon tape this way, perfect seal. It's a good idea to still use teflon, just don't run the tap all the way in.

Good idea man. I'll look for the tap this weekend at home depot.
