I've just been quoted £400 for the above from Subaru. Does anyone know if there's a decent one available that doesn't cost £400?

 

Buy from breaker hahaha

i got mine spec c JDM map sensor for less than £40

 

i bought a perrin 4bar map sensor 170 euro

 

I got mine from scoobyclinic 4 bar Perrin map sensor for £100

 

Even better

 

Is a 4 bar better than a 3 or is it overkill? I like the price a lot more than £400 though!

 

What would be the benefits of getting one of these tuned in while tweeking a map and adding a 3port ? Thanks in advance

 

You only need a map sensor if u want over 1.5 bar.

If your not going for crazy boost theres no benefit i believe.

 

A 3 bar map sensor will allow you to read boost up to 2 bar, a standard map uk sti map sensor reads to about 1.52bar. A 3 port will allow more stable boost control

I always found this GM sensor spot on and at a fraction of the cost

Thanks guys Exactly what I needed to know

 

Love the price, thanks for that, but is it idiot proof? It doesn't look much like the OEM article so does it need some adjustments and rewiring to work?

 

cut the plugs off, join cables as per information in the ad,

5 minutes work, if that...

 

simple as that Paben

 

That's brilliant, thanks for the advice guys, I was expecting a hefty wallet bashing!

 

FYI it will not fit the standard MAP sensor location in the manifold. Although a good sensor, you will need to find somewhere to mount it, and run a pipe to it.

If the sensor you fit has a different pressure range to the one you have fitted now, it MUST be remapped.

 

Ah, thanks for that. Do you know of a straight replacement, plug and play?

 

As i said already buy a jdm spec c one from a breaker.

Direct fit and allow 1.7 bar.

Or fork out n buy perrin from scoobyclinic.

 

I don't much like s/h sensors and there aren't too many jdm spec-cs being broken either. There seems to be a few new ones about for less than £100 though, much better than £400!

 

Wasn't a problem for me to find one on here,

MBDevelopments or Scoobyspares usually have em in stock,

Rarely fail so no prob with it being S/H ,

Plug and play for £30

Could have 3 fail on you before you've paid same as perrin prices,


If new is what your after tho then Scoobyclinics perrin one is "supposedly" direct fit.

 

Yeah direct fit

 

If you're having the car mapped anyway, then Just get the GM sensor get it all wired in and a vac line on it. The saved funds can go towards the map

 

What boost you hoping to run ?
