easy one..... early map sensor.
What's the limits of the early map sensors, I think it's around 1.25 bar but can't for the life of me remember for sure.

1.1-2 bar springs to mind for an early car, Matt.

Yes a lot of people including me fit a later map sensor which can take 1.7
What ECU are you running ?

It's the original 7K ecu chap.
I think I'll get a V3 sensor to run a bit more boost, won't be going past 1.5 bar.

How are you getting more boost ? boost controller ?
All I was going to say was they don't work very well with the Apexi... it's not very smooth. Worked a treat with my simtek but was disappointing with the Apexi stand alone. I went with the AVCR kit in the end.
