    Ok, that answers my question if the log actually maxxed or if you just needed to rescale the dash. Interesting to know about the max pressure, most gas guys never push more than 255kPa!

    Wow, all the turbo cars i know don't even hit 100Kpa! My turbo set up will push a little over 515Kpa, so I would like to have a sensor that goes up to 600 at least so I'm only using 80% of the gauge.

    AEM makes a 7bar (100psi) map sensor at 0.5v to 4.5v, the only thing that would confuse the ECM would be the limiter of 58psi on my truck compared to the 5.9's at 100psi. Is there any way to tell what the hard limiter is on a 6.7L? The EFI soft limit seems to be 58psi.

    Digikey has Honeywell 7 bar absolute pressure sensors for $90. Way better than those plastic things.

    I don't think there is a hard limiter. The ECM supplies 5V and takes in whatever voltage the sensor gives back, 0 to 5V. Rescale and let it rip ?
