Can anyone splice of the wire and top part to the turbo water temp censor from their non water cooled cars? or better yet a parts car 951? mine is torn at the base, and I want to fix this. Thanks!

Just get different sensor with a regular male terminal at the end. This is quite commonly done.

thanks! I'm really not good with this electrical stuff. what should i tell a clerk at the hardware store that will end up with me having the right part in hand? I can solder it myself. (Isn't it scary that I'm going to install my wideband this weekend!)

Why did you delete the turbo water cooling? Are you fitting a larger turbo?

Ahmet

Luis, he didn't delete the water cooling to his turbo, he's asking for a part that would be left over from somebody else's delete.

Eyal, you need a specific part #, unless you want to take your old sensor in and try to match it (may take a while). I don't have it off hand right now, many of the vendors can provide you one (but with significant mark up). I have very limited internet use for the next 2 weeks or so as part of a project I'm participating in, but if you haven't found it at that point, I could help you out (e-mail me if it comes to that). Hopefully somebody will just post the part # here.

PS: The "change" to another style sensor is usually done for clearance when used on a bigger turbo. Also, you may try modifying a female connector from another application, and modify it a bit, or maybe even a butt connector (sp?).
