map sensor for PFC

hi, guys, i am getting a single turbokit, and i need a upgraded map sensor, i looked around and the only option i see is the 3bar GM sensor from rx7store.com, is it the best one to go with powerFC? does it just plug an play into the factory sensor plug or do i have to play with the wiring and reset the voltage reading/ boost valves on my powerFC?

If you install a 3bar sensor, you will have to change the MAP settings on your PFC and readjust your entire map. I'm not sure of the wiring part though.

We developed an adapter to eliminate the wiring issues

It all depends on how much boost you plan to run. The stock sensor is good for
17-17.5 psi. You only need a 3 bar for running higher boost than that.

If the offset and scale are set correctly the map does not need to be retuned, but installing a single turbo you will need to retune the car.
