Upgraded MAP sensor
Wouldn`t this upgrade be almost mandatory for us turbo guys?

Keep in mind that if you're not planning on boosting that high, you can lose MAP resolution by going to the 400kPa MAP sensor... So I wouldn't use the 400kPa sensors unless you need them.
The reason being that with the 250 kPa sensor, you're representing the whole range with 255 steps (8-bit analog to digital converter), so you have a little more than 1 step per kPa. With a 400 kPa sensor, now you've got about 1.6 kPa per step... so it's less accurate. This probably won't be a big deal on an rx7, but it would cause me trouble on the ITB-equipped corolla.
The ms2 has 10-bit ADC's, so it would be more accurate with the 400kPa sensor (around .4 kPa accuracy). The planned MS3 will likely use 12-bit ADCs, that gives us .1 kPa accuracy.
