As above but the 3 bar refers to its pressure range.
This is 2 bar boost + 1 bar atmosphere = total 3 bar.
1 bar is the same as 14.5 psi roughly
You can ONLY fit one of these if your ecu chip is programmed for it.
The standard car one on a sierra for example is a 2 bar sensor.... 1 bar boost + 1 bar atmosphere
Basically, you change this sensor to allow more boost to be used.

gazm,
When i got my escos I kept it standard for 6 months... then I just could not resist modding it !!!
It really is down to personal preference ! I didnt like bling that much myself but all the mods were done for power !

imho go for stage3 kinda power, it's cheap and reliable if well maintained.

hmmm, I know what you mean mate, but when you see a totally standard car they do look the dogs, specially if its looked after, and they do seem to fetch good money if standard these days, but someone sort of had a go at moddin it but never quite got there, saying that some of the member cars on here look superb when done.

Hard to believe ford would supply 803's. I dont think you will find its original !
Where did you get it ?

No youre right - the greens were put in after by the garage that put it in for the owner , the engine was standard internally, I have been told that the gasket was a group a when put together,. the car was then sold to the garage (tgr nmotorsport) who put the YB in, I had it from them. I have heard it run but have not driven it as yet, as the rads are not in, and needs finishing so thats why wondering which way to go with it.

The cossie was on ebay - yous might have seen it - petrol blue with oz alloys and morrettes. They were considering selling as rolling shell - interior and engine all separate !! couldnt have that.
