How much boost are you goin to run? The amount of boost depends on what map to run.
I bought one from a ebay company that is also a web order company that has a out side website. They stand behind it. I ordered mine. Hooked it up and it was bad. They send me a new one the same day with no questions asked.

for now, probably somewhere around 15psi. I was just going to buy a 3bar map sensor right from the get go because i don't want to be bothered by having to buy another if i decide on running more boost than the sensor is able to handle.
can i take any 2, or 3 bar map sensor and wire it up to work? I'm really hoping to be able to score one out of the junkyard if possible. I know people run the motorola, omni, aem etc etc, but can it be out of like a toyota or something that has a 2 or 3 bar map sensor
?? thanks guys.

2.5 bar map sensor will give you a max boost reference of 22 psi. 3 bar map sensor will give you a max boost pressure of 30 psi. check ebay. the gm map sensors are all over the place for 50-60 new. why risk pulling a shitty used one from the junk yard. there certain things you do not want to go used. your engines life depends on that sensor.

Ok, I will buy a new one. But my question still stands.
Can it be from like a Toyota Mr2 or something, does it HAVE to be a gm sensor?? I know some of the gm trucks have map sensors, could i go to the parts store and order a map from like a 3.8 v6, or does it specifically have to be from a 89 trans am?!
