Don't confuse the MAP for a boost gauge or a meth kit with the MAP you run the engine from... In most cases, each application uses a seperate MAP sensor (although I ran my boost gauge and my meth kit from the same MAP until I went digital).

Since you probably can't get more than 10-12psi from the radix, a 2 bar is all you need.

My next question was on how to plug it.

So no 3 bar people? How do you scale a 2.5bar with HPT? I thought you just get 3 choices with custom OS's. 1,2 or 3 bar.

Under engine diagnostics, If you do go with a 3bar, I have a manifold with the map clips brokin off I'll sell ya cheap if you don't want to hack yours......

Digital? What's this? Where can I look this up at?
For 2 bar tuning, will I need to get something else other than what my truck already has?
Allen Nelson will be doing the dyno tuning.

You will need a 2 bar map sensor. GM P/N: 12580698 AC Delco: 213-1631 Allen will need to upgrade your O.S to a 2bar O.S from HPTuners.

Sounds good. Now where is this thing located?
Any pics that can point the way? How hard is it to install? Plug-n-play I assume?

It is on the top of the intake, near the back.


Were the hole is on this one, there are two clips that hold the sensor in. (on this intake, the clips are brokin...
