You just get a 3 BAR MAP sensor. Look in the Microtech sites.

^^ This tells you that a 3bar sensor will be able to read a higher level of boost, but may not read in as fine increments of boost as you may require. In other words, this depends on what you need. Will you be boosting past 2bar? Will you really need the 3bar sensor? Sometimes I wonder about your intellect.... lol

In other words, you see how the microtech only has like 16 points to adjust from -30 vacum to 20 psi? When you get that 3 bar sensor it will have the same number of adjustment points but there will bea greater range. Like now it goes like 0 2 4 6 8 so on and so forth, when you get the 3 bar it might go like 0 3 6 9. more range but less resolution.
