Spec C 3 bar MAP sensor
I've just been quoted £400 for the above from Subaru. :eek: 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
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 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GM-Type-3-...kAAOSw~oFXNbky |
Thanks guys Exactly what I needed to know:thumb:

cut the plugs off, join cables as per information in the ad,
5 minutes work, if that... |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 ?
