MAP sensors are cheap. The stock cant handle anything past 5 psi i think. So just purchase a better one.

Alright thanks man

Bobster · 03-22-2017, 06:53 AM

isn't is about 12psi??

Stock map sensor only reads up to 6.72 psi. I am boosted (supercharger) but my tune is scaled off the MAF so I still have the stock MAP sensor.

Good call.

What's it for? You should run a properly spec'd MAP sensor on a turbo, it's not at all required for SC applications and is known to cause issues on some of them.

I'm running a custom sourced turbo my uncle put together for me, he's a mechanic in the military and fabed everything up for me as far as piping and I'll just be running a t3 turbo until I get forged internals later on to run a bigger turbo with more boost. Won't be for another year or so

I prefer map sensors because read the pressure on the intake manifold
