AEM 1 or 3.5 BAR map sensor?
If I am going to be staying under 15 psi would the AEM 1 BAR be just fine or should I just go ahead with the 3.5 BAR?
Also, Doe anyone know who has the best deal on them?

Thats cutting it VERY close... I dont know what would happen in case of a boost creep or boost spike situation. I'd say to get the other map sensor just for peace of mind. If not a 3 bar then at least a 2 bar map sensor.
Always better to have a buffer zone

Staying under 14.7 psi of boost means that you would be fine with a 2 bar sensor. A stock sensor is good to about 11 psi. A 1 bar is NOT what you want and wouldn't show any boost. If you think that there's a chance of exceeding 15 psi, get a 3 bar sensor. You can always rescale the MAP sensor and the breakpoints to whatever you need.

So, the stocker is definitely out of the question and I guess I'll just get the 3.5 BAR. I need to get this map sensor before Oct. 13.
Do you guys know where to get the best deal?
