Boost pressure (MAP) sensor needed for Apexi ?

Do i need an uprated MAP sensor to work with an APEXI power FC ecu? (Runnning 1.4 bar for instance)

Cheers

yes and no.

If you use an external boost controller then you can keep with the standard MAP sensor. If you want the powerFC to control the boost then you will need the Apexi MAP sensor to allow that to be done.
