useing oem preasure sensor as map sensor.

I hooked up my presure sensors signal (before the FCD) to my emanage to use as a map sensor.

the V seems ok and it works fine so far ... anything that i have not thought about that can give me problems ?

i have not dynoed with it yet, only done some monitoring while driveing around ...

His got a piggy back engine management system....

It should work...

but you need to make shure that the Emanage knows that 3.7 volts from the Pressure sensor = about 8.5 PSI.....

what type of managemnt system are you using

in e-manage I use the voltage scale and will tune by that on the dyno.
I have boosted like 0.9 shortly to test the Voltage of the sensor and it looked fine on the e-manage suport tool.

I just hope it has good accuracy in the range I will use it for (up to .8bar or less) ... I will see on the dyno I guess.

the purpose is to not have to buy and install a 100$ greddy item that i have oem item that can do the exact same stuff with

Stock NA pressure sensor is a "1bar" sensor that reads up to "0".
Stock turbo pressure sensor is a "2bar" sensor that reads up to about 15psi.
