RE: boost sensor

Really doubt its a boost sensor on a 2.8L NON TURBO engine. Do you have a pic of it?

RE: boost sensor

You don't need a boost sensor in a car that doesn't have turbos! That sensor doesn't belong under the hood of your A6. Yank that POS out of there, its not doing anything for you.
