3-Bar MAP Sensor

The Bosch 3-Bar MAP Sensor (MPN: 0281002401) is a genuine, fully tested manifold absolute pressure sensor designed to measure both air pressure within your engine's boost pipes and air temperature. This sensor provides a crucial upgrade from standard 2.5 BAR sensors, offering a 3 BAR (0.2 - 3 BAR / 3 – 43 PSI) range. This increased reading capacity allows for the safe utilization of higher boost pressures, making it an ideal component for engine tuning and performance upgrades. This 5V sensor is recommended by tuning specialists for applications requiring precise boost monitoring. Its higher reading capability is particularly beneficial when tuning VW engines, as the standard 2.5 BAR sensor has a limited reading of approximately 1.5 BAR. By upgrading to this 3 BAR sensor, you can safely increase turbo pressures and optimize engine performance. It's important to note that incorrect replacement or installation without proper recommendation from a tuning specialist may lead to engine damage. The sensor is compatible with a wide range of Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models, primarily those equipped with TDI and TSI engines from the early 2000s through 2009. Specific fitments include numerous Golf, Passat, A3, A4, and many other VAG group vehicles. Always verify part numbers (VW Part Numbers: 038906051C, 036906051E, 03G906051E, 03G906051F, 03G906051M, 04E906051A; Bosch Part Number: 0281002401) and consult with a tuning specialist to ensure proper fitment and application for your specific vehicle and tuning goals.
