Default Oh No..Another 3.3 Map Sensor Thread

I need opinions on this 3.3 ebay map sensor.I have a 5.3 LM7 Gt45 ebay 68mm turbo with a truck manifold and a Holley HP LS1 wiring. I would like to utilize the stock hole in the manifold. The guy has the specs on it and it has a 2 year warranty. Here is the specs he sent me.

the decimal is either in the wrong place or his units are mislabeled

Should I just run a Cobalt map sensor for now in my truck manifold? It will map to 14 + lbs and my wastegate spring is 10 lbs for now but I will be adding the 2nd spring once I work the bugs out of the car. I was also wondering if I added a small shot of NOS on it will the Holley Hp and the Cobalt map sensor handle it? Im very new at all this and im old school that had bbc's all my life. Thanks

I sold it and did not like the way it fit in the intake. Maybe im wrong and im sure its been used a 1000 times but not me. Im just wondering another alternative ....Cobalt 2 bar that would fit my truck intake I guess. I read that the Duramax has a muddy resolution and not to use it. Im just open for options and if I have to plug the map hole and mount it somewhere but I have enough spaghetti all over my engine as it is.

Just guessing, but that looks like voltage vs psi instead of kpa.

I ended up getting this 3 bar map with a 2 year warranty. Anyone else use it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-BAR-MAP-SENSOR-GM-STYLE-GMC-TRANS-AM-GRAND-NATIONAL-FIREBIRD-TURBO-BOOST-/221433440920?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item338e762a98

That's commonly used. It's the old GM sensor style.
I believe it's much the same as the holley or MSD sensor,

At any rate, it will work fine
