I guess I didnt explain it well enough.. ???

A 3 bar sensor CANNOT measure more than 2 bar boost.
(exclude the slight variations which can be positive or negative)

A simplified explanation....

The boost is transmitted from the sensor to the ecu as a voltage.

The varying voltage ranges from 0 to 5 volts.

At 2 bar boost, the sensor is ouptuting 5 volts (just under)

It cannot give any more !

Hope that explains it.
