A 2/3 bar MAP sensor for a Cosworth needs to be mounted upside down

This is so the internal pressure sensing part has the correct 'zero setting' to start with before any pressure/vacumm is applied

Doesn't need to be earthed by the screws, its all in the wiring

yes its in the wiring but one of the screw holes has an earth tab suggesting that that screw should go to earth as it does in the oe application

Indeed, works perfectly fine without though!

The installation on a FRST is very crude in this respect aswell.
