Damn, my sensors didn't have BBi on them

 

Map sensor?

 

Yes
I'm running the upgraded map sensors but mine aren't as cool looking haha

 

What is the stock sensor? 3 bar? You are running more than 29psi?

 

Stock is 2, I'm running 3 now

 

What for to change map sensor?

 

That's strange. I guess I never looked into it, but a 2 bar map sensor would read from -1 bar to +1 bar. That effectively means the car can't read the map sensor above 14.5psi of boost? That doesn't sound right.

 

2 bar sensor reads from 0 to 2 Barr
That is up to 29 psi boost

 

Unless Porsche is using a non-standard setup that is not correct. MAP sensors need to read negative (vacuum) as well. If it's reading from 0-29psi that's a "standard" 3 bar MAP sensor. The "first bar" is used reading negative.

 

The stock ones are scaled up to 23psi I believe. Mitch could answer this better but I'd give him a couple days. Dude needs a break this weekend

 

Its in the first post, map sensors to read more than 20psi w/o limp mode

 

Where did you get this sensor? Is it easy to install?
I was so close to pick up an R8 but I'm leaning toward 997.2TTS

 

Contact Mitch or BBi for the sensors (but you need COBB Stg.3 to work)

Very easy to install, around 15 min

 

Hello sorry for the delay I have been on the road for a week or so.

The upgraded map sensors can be bought from BBI, or through Cobb if needed.

The Stage 3 maps are not released yet as we just finished up testing them. If you do get the sensors you will just need to email me and I will need to send you a calibration for the sensors.

Please if anyone has any questions shoot me an email and I would be happy to answer any that you may have.

Thanks,

-Mitch

 

Guys, does the BBI map sensor allow for the 997.2's electronic boost guage to read higher psi? I haven't checked in a while but I think the stock one is maxed out at only 18psi. Thx.
