Map Sensor Solution?

Ok, I've been searching for a long time, and as far as I can tell, this is never addressed. Maybe it won't work, but neways here goes.

Does anyone know what bar the map sensor with the AVC-R can read to? If it is a 3 bar sensor, could the readings be sent to the PFC and the AVC-R from one sensor? Possibly by spliceing the ecu harness to the avc-r harness that plugs to the sensor, which both have the three wires? Or would that throw off the readings?

Any thoughts? Am I making any sense?

I suspect that it is a 3-bar sensor (i.e. it can read to ~30 psi). I also think that it is technically possible to have the PowerFC and AVC-R share the same MAP sensor, but I don't know anyone who has tried that yet. Unless you know what you are doing (with electronics), I don't suggest trying it yourself.

Well, this is where I'm at. It could save me $100 on a new 3 bar sensor, and lessen the # of gadgets under the hood.

I asked Steve Kan the same question a couple months back and he said that it will not work because boost controller map sensors operate at a different frequency than the stock sensor.

Yea, but can't the PFC be calibrated for different sensors?
