Question on Map sensor & Diverter valve

I installed a Kraftwerk supercharger on my race car.
I plan to boost 10 to 12 psi, do I need to upgrade my map sensor from stock to ???????

Also, what diverter/bypass valve for supercharger is good?

Thank you

Yes you have to upgrade your MAP sensor. I am running the SOS 3bar MAP, it is plug n play.

There are others on the market, so maybe more people will chime in.

Tial makes a very good BOV.

As stated above, you need a new MAP sensor; stock is only good to about 10PSI. SOS sells a 3 BAR unit, you can purchase directly thru their website.

Oh, I forgot to ask --- how about the stock fuel regulator? Do I need to upgrade that too (just boosting 10psi to 12 no more/no less)?
I'm all set with the fuel pump. I upgrade the pump.
