It's just the way of the world. People want cheap stuff and China makes cheap stuff.

But whilst I'd happily buy some cheap unbranded parts etc....no way would I use crap for critical sensors.

So I swapped to the duramax 3.3 bar map. Works great so far
I bought a efi 3 bar sensor and it came apart at 10lbs so I used a soldering iron and fused the cover lid and has worked flawlessly up to 18bs. Every time I buy one now I always solder tip weld the lid just in case.

I prefer to spend the money on a GM sensor (AC Delco). They always last longer and perform better. Plan on spending $40-60 depending on which one. Money well spent.

Ive got a ZR1 sensor installed in my LS2 intake. Needs to be drilled out to 15/32 or around .460-.470ish.

So we should blame our president for China's cheap or knock off products? When a country is known for its counterfeiting of everything, why would we not blame them?
