Well, I installed my sstt today, but I managed to brake the stupid clip from the TMAP sensor. Should I worry about this? I used a penny, but I jammed it too far I guess and broke the clip clean off. I know, i'm stupid

u shouldnt be too worried, u can buy a new tmap sensor for about 60-80bucks, its fairly easy to install, jus two bolts holding it.
if not u can leave it as is, the turbo tuner will still hold itself in via the rubber seal. |

use something really thin next time to lift the clip, a penny might be a little too thick...
I think Jeff@Eurobahn sells the TMAP sensors direct. Although it seems like it would be a PITA to take it out because there's not much room there to work with a screwdriver.

Also be sure that when using a dime (what I used when I had TT) you just slide it under the clip but DO NOT pry up at all. If you slide the dime under there you can then just put a fingernail into the groove at the end of the plug and push the plug down and out. No prying up needed.
