Nice buy! I got a sweet deal on mine too.

Go with the 3.5 bar unless you plan on exceeding 35psi.

I'm not too familiar with the AEM and speed density setups; are there limitations or issues with the 3.5 bar MAP beyond 35psi? I'm just curious as 3.5 bar = 50.8psi.

Jakey, 1 bar is 14.7psi. 1 bar is the pressure at sea level, so you have 2.5 bar of boost. The AEM sensor goes to 35.97 psi of boost, I believe.

You might want to rethink the AEM WB02 purchase, there are better units out there for less money.

What would you suggest? I only know of the AEM and the PLX.

Gotcha, I was thinking absolute pressure.

I have a PLX-300, sweet display, LV output and straight very forward, about $300 or so?

The cheapest one I can find on ebay even in the AEM UEGO 6-in-1.

Man, I had my used one for sale...

The resolution isn't really any different between the 3.5 bar and the 5 bar. Both are laboratory grade sensors. You can scale the 5 bar to whatever you want in the AEM itself and because of the precision of the sensors, the resolution loss in voltage is insignificant from the 3.5 bar to the 5 bar.

The newer AEM gauge type wideband is out, it now reads down to 10:1 AF. The older ones only read down to 11:1 AF, which isn't quite rich enough for a lot of turbo cars. We sell them for $279.99.

Where do I buy the sensors? and about how much do they cost?

How about any place that sells GM parts?

And get a PLX wideband 02. Goes to 10:1
