Post MAP sensor question

Are the turbo buick MAP sensors 2-BAR, or 3-BAR sensors? I knoiw the TTA sensors are 3's, but i can't find them anywhere except the dealer. I can get the GN sensor cheap from a wholesaler, i just need to know if it will work for me.

I have to assume they are 2 bar, cause you have to buy a 3 bar for the "Boost sensing" option to work with T-Link. (But you know what assumptions can get you)

Question

Anyone know if the 3 bar units came on some other GM cars? (planning ahead for future junkyard trips).

That is why I won't buy electrical parts from a GM dealer, WFO. Some of the other stores (advance auto, etc) can get AC\Delco parts and will take returns. The 3 bar MAP sensor is available at NAPA CRB219481 $75.99


Ken "TurboLink" Mosher also has the GM units for $68.00

Oh well, it was a chance. The listings showed it as the same sensor used ont eh SC3800's int he FWD cars, and i didn't think they'd be 3-BAR, but thought i'd ask anyways. It's actually for a Chrysler 2.2 application, i've run out of MAP sensor at 15 psi
