MAP sensor question
I did some searching, and I want to verify that I found the right answer. I'm looking at buying a E6K from a forum member. My car is N/A and the haltech he has will come with a 3 bar map sensor. From what I found by searching, the 3 bar will read from vaccuum up to 30psi. If it will read vaccuum, do I need to use a 1 bar map sensor? If so, will my stock boost/vaccuum sensor work?
Thanks for the help.

I dd some more searching and I've come to the conclusion that it will not work, or at least it will not work properly. If anyone knows otherwise, shoot me a PM or something.

Yes, you need a 1 bar MAP sensor, if you're going to use the MAP sensor as the load device.  The Haltech can be switched to run in TPS mode, where it uses the TPS as a load sensor - it might be better to run it this way, as NA vehicles tend to have better tuning via this method.  If you use TPS as a load device, you really don't need a MP sensor at all.
If you already have a 1 bar MAP, you can use your stock sensor - you just need to rewire to suit the Haltech wiring.
