Default corvette boosted tune and 3 bar map sensor ???

I know this may not be the right section but you guys are the ones that would know this. Were do I get a 3 bar map sensor for a 99 corvette ?? Does anyone have an HPTUNERS bin file I could use to get started with. It needs to be for a corvette with 3 bar. You can email it to me if you have one gtformula@yahoo.com I know someone out there can help. Thanks again guys.

Hey man do a search. We have posted the part numbers plently of times. For 2 and 3 bar map sensors. The map sensor I use is a 2 bar. I had to grind off one little tab and it fit like a camp. Plug and play.

Im just showing him what I did to the 2 bar. So I would just leave the stocker were it is to plug up the hole and reference the 3 bar map off the brake booster line.

I have searched but couldnt find anything that had something that fit right in the original hole. I was wondering if anybody has got one that is a plug and play. Or please show me the part number and where you got it from and what you did to make it work. It must be 3 bar cause Im going to run about 20-25 psi boost. Thanks for any help.

I wound up drilling and tapping the intake hole in the back. I believe I used a 3/8 or 1/4 inch npt to a 1/4 barb then connected the two with vacume hose.

Hope these help. I did it this way so it would allow me to change the sensor out easy when I got to the shop for the tune. It doesnt seem you will have the same issue cause you have a vette.

Here is your 3 BAR MAP

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

There are 3 pins on the MAP sensor, labeled ABC (you can buy a pigtail on GM Parts Direct).
A = ground
B = 0-5v output
C = 5v reference

GM PN# 15305891 - pigtail harness

Just tap off your brake booster with good hose and a good T fitting.
