Is a stock honda MAP sensor a 2bar MAP sensor. I am just curious......

As for the S-AFC if you are going turbo there is no need to have a S-AFC. Once you are on boost it wont be doing any adjustment. The reason that the s-afc wont work with the saturn is that our engine uses a 1bar MAP sensor. Hondas use somthing bigger then a 1bar more like a 2bar. This is why they must use check valves on their MAP sensor. We dont have to do that. 1bar=0psi (or 14.7psia). Our computer never sees boost. Even with the S-AFC it can only ajust with in the limits of the 1bar map sensor. Adding more voltage will not to anything. The S-AFC works by intercepting the signal from the stock MAP sensor it then gives the computer a new reading.

Is this pretty much true?
