[font=arial, geneva, helvetica]MAP SENSOR [/font]
[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Definition: Refers to a manifold absolute pressure sensor, a variable resistor used to monitor the difference in pressure between the intake manifold at outside atmosphere. [/font]
[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica] This information is used by the engine computer to monitor engine load (vacuum drops when the engine is under load or at wide open throttle). When the engine is under load, the computer may alter spark timing and the fuel mixture to improve performance and emissions.
[/font]
[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]3 BAR ... bar is a unit of pressure measurement... to convert bar to PSI multiply by 14.508. 3 bar is 43.5 PSI.
Edit: going along with what juan just posted. 1 bar is esssentially atmosphere (14psi), so a 3 bar will let you run 43.5 - 14 psi or 29.5 PSI of b00st to y0 face
