    Are you having boost or n/a? Thats the only thing that dictates the map sensor required

    with my dta ecu, i use a sierra cosworth map sensor. doesn't matter what car its off as long as it can read 2 bar or more if you're going boost

    depends on the boost you want. the ecus are configurable to pretty much any sensors you use (map, coolant, air, tps etc), it just requires setting up correctly.

    2.5 bar (250kpa) is suitable up to 1.5 bar boost

    3 bar (300kpa) is suitable up to 2 bar boost

    ONLY buy genuine map sensors.

    we sell these parts, as well as any other ignition or fueling parts you may require for your conversion.

    yes it will just need calibrating. most of my omex maps have used 3bar magnetti marelli sensors. but it wouldnt be a problem to adjust the settings to suit the 250kpa sensor.

    omex ready assembled turbo spec looms come with a map sensor connector yes.

    the basic spec assembled looms do not, but it is an easy fix to upgrade it to accept map sensor.
