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?!
it could be from any vehicle as long as it reads boost. you will need to take the connector for the sensor as well and hard wire it in. the gm 2.5 bar sensors are a better bet because they come with the connector, are a lot cheaper to replace and a readily available.
no. ordering a map sensor from any gm vehicle will not do. you need a 2.5 bar map sensor and only a specific amount a factory gm vehicles were turbo/supercharged. you need to look for gm vehicles that were turbod/supercharged from the factory like cobalt ss, ion redline, saturn sky, durmax turbo diesel engines, etc. in some cases you may have to modify there mounting positions on your specific vehicle to make them work so its not really worth it. buy a new gm 2.5 bar map sensor on ebay or on the gm performance site and call it a day.

quick questions: my turbo came with a bit of shaft play (side to side) but it does not move in and out at ALL. should i bother having it balanced??

all journal bearing turbos will have some shaft play. this will go away with oil pressure. there should be no front to back play. its always a good idea to rebuild a used turbo reguardless of its condition.

This is a new ebay turbo, not a used one. Just wondering If I should have it balanced or not

even new journal bearing turbos will have shaft play. if its an ebay turbo have it rebuilt with quality parts. any turbo rebuild shop can rebuild it and balance it.
