well thats funny cos ofac cant measure that much anyway. its ofab that can run high boost.

I know they are different mate and i would say the one you have is a 2i one, but dont just take my word for it lets see if anyone else can help.

Can't find a good picture of an OFAC sensor at the moment - but this auction has the correct one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fiesta-turbo-o...ayphotohosting

There's a couple of easy ways to tell - firstly the shape is different - XR2i ones are rectangular whereas the OFAC ones are wider at the bottom than the top. Second;y the OFAC ones have a part number on a sticker - white writing against a black background. The XR2i ones have a moulded part number.

Ordinary XR2i MAP sensors cannot register boost. I believe they read the same at vaccum but that's it. Consequentially an OFAC ECU will idle with a XR2i MAP sensor but as soon as it comes on boost the mixture will lean right out and you could melt a piston.

Here's a slightly better picture of one borrowed from www. FiestaTurbo.com

Thanks for the response guys! I'm not willing to sell it to someone else who doesnt know anything and it f**ks up their car! I was a bit unsure and i'm glad i asked!

So anyone for an XR2i Map sensor then?

Regards, Mudge
