Default Which 3 bar map sensor

So I've been doing some research on which map sensor to purchase but I've having trouble determining which part number will fit my intake and if I will need a new plug for it as well. I have an 03 2500 with the 6.0.

I can make one for you that will plug right in. How much boost do you plan on running? A 3 bar will go to 29+ PSI of boost. PM me if you would like.

I only plan on running 15 psi for the time being but I want room to expand if I want.

not a 3 bar but this is what I got. 2.5 bar map . It's ugly as hell but it's what my tuner recommended.

That's what I was concerned about, but I got confirmation from three6gmc that it does fit the truck intake if your stock truck map is a single bolt map sensor as well. I just got mine in the mail today hopefully it'll be put on along with the rest of my turbo kit starting before next week if work will ever allow me the time to start on it

It is a stock map from gm cut open and modified. After it's modified it's filled in with epoxy and looks like crap.
