Default Bosch map sensors

I'm after 3bar map sensor or one with greater pressure range (3.5bar is enough actually)? Any ideas where I could source one for reasonable price? I've been offered 3bar sensor for 110eur and 3.5bar sensor for 140eur. Is this good price or is it possible to get them cheaper somewhere?

If you google it, then you can find AEM mapsensors 3,5bar and 5 bar in the states to about 150$ and they are really nice

Google AEM MAP SENSOR

I actually noticed those AEM sensors yesterday. Like I said, I can get the 3.5bar Bosch sensor for 140eur which is about the same price the AEM would cost to me.

A warning about the Bosch 5 bar (4.6 bar).

It doesnt read vacuum properly !!!!

It only goes down to about -0.5 bar as it was originally designed for truck
diesel engines that generate almost no vacuum.

This is a problem on overrun and very light load conditions as the ecu will
fuel more than is required.
