Default 1 bar to 2 bar map sensor question (need help ASAP)

So I currently have a 1 bar map sensor on my car, and my tuner wanted me to get a 2 bar map sensor for my dyno tune on Wednesday. I made the order and received the 2 bar map sensor in the mail. After looking at it though, it has a totally different connector than the 1 bar map sensor does.

How do I make this work? Is there a GM connector I need to get to wire the old connector into the new one?

In case some of you guys are more visual guys like me;

This is the 1 bar map sensor I currently have. Notice the connector.





And this is is the connector for the 2 bar map sensor.




I am sure there is some kind of pigtail out there to adapt this. I just need to know what it is.

After researching more on my own, I "think" that my current LT1 1 bar map sensor pigtail looks like this;



Now, I believe the LS1 pigtail should adapt to the 2 bar map sensor I just got (I believe the exact part # for the GM 2 bar map sensor is from a Cobalt SS). The exact part number is 12615136. Here is what the pigtail looks like for the LS1 map sensor in the below picture.



As you can see it looks like it should fit the new map sensor. And the wires are the same color as my wires from my LT1 pigtail.

Can anyone confirm that all I need to do is get a factory LS1 pigtail and splice the wires and swap it out for my LT1 pigtail? If so, does anyone know the GM part number for the LS1 map sensor pigtail?

I guess I should further explain for anyone using this thread for info. You can adapt the two as I though above as long as the pins go to the rights pins when swapping the connectors.

The much easier route (which is the route I am taking) is you can just get a 2 bar map sensor from a supercharged 97 Pontiac Grand Prix, which is a direct fit, and no splicing is needed.
