got it to fire and got a log if anyone wanna take a peek.

it bogs and dies when you try and drop it into gear or if you blip the throttle it dies on its way back down to idle rpm.

I wont tune anything with that sensor. Seen nothing but problems with them in the past. Have never seen one work correctly except in a duramax.

Yes, I keep reading that it lacks resolution at lower kpa...which makes some sense on a diesel engine.

What map sensor have you had the best luck with? I don't really need 3 bar...only going to 10 or so psi with this build.

so my advice is don't use the cheap $30 version of this sensor. buy the delphi one if you are gonna use it.

I was getting all sorts of funky readings at idle with it, and it would never go above 100kpa while my boost gauge was saying a couple psi...so I decided to set up a test rig with a airbrush pressure regulator set to ~5psi

the result





I switched to the more common GM 12223861 sensor and it scaled nicely. solid 100kpa at KOnEOff and around 45-50kpa at idle.
