if that screw is missing its happened gradually until if fell out then then. my bottom screw came off also so ive used similar sized bolts with nuts so i can see easier if they are coming loose.
no mate, i think thats just the angle of the photo. There are 2 screws in it... and both look tight....
just been to double check - both screws are present and correct.
So its just the adapter thing thats missing...?

you don't have an FMIC (as far as I know) so yours won't be in the same place as mine.
IIRC yours will be right next to the SMIC, or perhaps actually in the intercooler itself....

I think the map sensor does connect directly onto the plastic housing of the smic.
pabs yea air can still get out no matter how tight the two bolts are, imagine throwing a banana down bond street... theres a gap all round. (btw i was going to use a different analogy but might offend some)

so this adapter came with the FMIC kit then? Its not something you need to buy extra?
Just trying to figure in my head as to what should be there, what isnt, and why it isnt there...

It's listed in the instructions on page 5 as a part (1 x MAP sensor adaptor) that should have been in the box. But as you said it isn't mentioned in the instructions themselves. Bit of an oversight on forge's part.

it looks the same as the spare bit i pasted into that pic and was included with the kit, failing that im sure forge will help you out.

yup sensor off, fit the adaptor to either the sensor then push back on or else onto the pipe then tighten. one of the easier bits of mechanicking (HA!) Ive done.
ok thanks mate. I'm assuming its just a push-fit job then?
Hope this is the cause of the leak.... although no idea why its shown up now and not straight after install.....?

Push fit yea. as for why,dunno, but if i was you id have the whole bumper off and refit all the pipes some sunny afternoon, with the days getting shorter again, i'd do it soon and enjoy the colder weather.
bumper is easy enough, two oval covers off the front of the bumper, undo the wheel arches and off she comes, dont forget foglights need disconnecting.
