Default using two MAP's?...2 or 3 BAR MAP for hpt & interceptor gauge

Now with my new forged motor I'm gonna use 14.7 psi of boost and I'd like to use hpt 2 bar SD.

must I use ONLY a 2 BAR MAP sensor or can I use also 3 BAR MAP?

Also I want to use this map sensor with the interceptor gauge, and if i use the 2 bar, the gauge only display 14.7 psi at max?...what if i have over boost?, I never going to see more than 14.7?

maybe can i pay for the hpt 2 bar sd, but install a 3 bar map?

Well it really depends...Are you ONLY going to be using 14.7psi tops?? If so then I would go with a 2 Bar Map simply because it will have a higher resolution then a 3 Bar Map... Your gauge is going to read whatever boost is in your manifold... The Map is just going to be able to process the pressure that is there...

The digital interceptor gauge use an optional external map sensor to read the boost and you can choise 2 or 3 bar, if you don't have a map sensor pluged to the analog input you can not use the boost funtion of the gauge, and in the manual they says "for reads more than 14.7 psi use a 3 bar map sensor"

Maybe can I use 2 sensors, the 2 bar for the PCM and other 3 bar for the gauge?
