Exclamation Map sensor help Please

I have swapped a lq4 into a 87ttype with a pt-88 turbo. I have an Innovative electronic boost controller. It has its on map sensor can I piggy back that sensor to the stock ecu? I am running an Edelbrock super vic intake and would like to not have to buy another sensor and add the clutter. The innovative map is 3bar.

Depends on what the output of the innovative 3 Bar map is... Also, you will have to run a custom operating system in the PCM (but I would recommend doing that anyway with a boosted car)...

Ok is there a test i can do to tell if the innovative map sensor will work like the stock. Im guessing it sends a certian signal and a certian level?

Did Innovate supply any specs with the sensor? The stock one is a 0-5V signal. When you switch to a 2 or 3 Bar, you have to change the scaler in the PCM for it to read right. Which software are you going to use?
