It should be max of the 3 BAR map sensor

So 1 BAR atmospheric, 2 BAR boost, so 2 BAR

But I seem to remember seeing 33psi on ours at some point

Ask Trev to be sure mate, mine aint in the car yet so can't tell you but at MSD it's only been set for 24psi anyway so won't peak past the monitor's capabilties

i think tbh, map sensors vary a tad, but 2 bar is below 30psi, so 28.4 i would class as normall, same as mine
doesnt help me at all when im running the t4 at 40psi....which is why i want it 5bar sensored
