Default ofab or ofac map sensor

what boost pressure can the standard ofab map sensor take,im changing my erst to ofab from ofac as the standard ofac map sensor can only read up to a bar of boost,so does the standard ofab 1 read more or the same or should i get a 3bar map sensor

OFAB std map sensor is 2bar so will read 1 bar.
You can buy 2.5 bar sensors that can reed 1.5 bar.
3 Bar is only needed if going over 21 psi.

PS. PM me if your after a 2.5 Bar as i have just taken one of my car.

i had been told that a standard ofac map sensor would only read up to 1 bar,how come the majority of people ive seen doing the conversion always go for ofab or is that just so they have the option to go to a cossie 3bar map sensor
