i found this- http://www.prostreetonline.com/oem/wizard.asp?year=1983&make=MB&model=300-DT-001&category=B&part=Boost+Pressure+Sensor
is the sensor necessary? what could happen if i stick a bolt in the hole now in the manifold? if i do have to replace it, where can i get one for cheaper than the link above?
