Omni 4 bar MAP sensor "too much sensor" for reasonable boost levels?
I'm looking to get a MAP sensor to log boost finally.....I can get an Omni 4bar for really cheap but after reading Mr. Freds how to set it up. It says something about running more than 35psi.
I'm only running 23-24psi (I think...my boost gauge says so...thus buying a map sensor)...
Will this work just fine? Or do I need a 3bar?
Thanks so much!!!

I had no problems with a 5 bar sensor which only read from 0.5 to 4.5 volts. I believe you should get the largest sensor you feel comfortable with. With 10bit resolution even a 7 bar sensor would have resolution down to to less than 0.7 kPa which is 0.09psi plenty of resolution to even run a fully N/A car.
Expense should be the limiting factor here and ease of placement. At this time there are no sensors cheaper and easier to install than a 4 bar omni. My 5 bar kavlico was almost 2x as expensive to get running because of wiring adapters and mdp adapters needed for fitment.

4 bar it is. Resolution at lower boost levels was all I was concerned with.
But if the difference between the 3bar and 4bar is neglegible. Then it would make sense to go with the 4bar simply because there is a stupid simple "how to" already
Thanks for the help dudes!
