Default 4 or 5 bar maps sensors, where from and how much?

As title, anyone got any suggestions where I can get one from and how much?

Was really getting to enjoy the 2.5 bar mid range spike my GT35 was running on the Evo, so would like to run that more often knowing the car was well mapped to suit that higher boost. Currently run the standard Evo 9 3 bar map sensor, so anything over 2 bar it's not got a clue

Si - for what it's worth - depending on your ECU and mapper - why not look into the Bosch 3.5 bar TMAP sensors?

They need two holes drilling into the plenum - one for the O-ring to seal in and one for a bolt to secure it. Acts as a MAP sensor for 2.5 bar of boost and an air temp sensor and they're fairly small - not much bigger than a normal YB ACT sensor.

Saves worrying about vacuum piping splitting etc and the sensors with a plug kit etc. are about £75. Same price as a YB 3 bar!

Not a bad price, if I can get my standard ECU to work with it, thanks Tev / Richie

Ooh intriguing, I like the sound of that. Best place to buy such a clever little item?

Thanks Will, liking the idea of simple install

MK - Saw that block on your build thread I think, you're very clever being able to knock stuff like that up

How much was the Bosch from Phillis? PM if you want, or just give me a ball park to aim at please
