For a custom hptune and whatnot do you need the sensors from the gm stage kit or are you good without them?

 

from what I've heard, you dont...


BUT can you get a better tune if you have the 3 bar map sensors??

 

haha yea my boy wants to get tuned so just seein if it's necessary or not with the new tables comin out and all that

 

bump

 

Its not, I'm tuned with the new tables on the stock 2.5bar maps.

 

Alright thanks man that's what I wanted to know

 

Yeah you dont need the new 3.0 bars but the issues lies in the truth. Meaning anything above 22lbs is out of the limits for the reading of the sensor but it can be worked around. Which isnt hard.. BTW YOUNEED HELP WITH THE CAR!

 

^^ that guy

 

yessir i was gonna hit u up i think im gonna get him to rent a dyno for an hour or somethin

 

id do street tuning first bro!

 

omg u cackgobbler

 

I bought the sensors thinking they were needed, but wasn't going to hack my stock wiring for them.

So I went and got tuned without, car is great, but now with the CED pigtails it's a bit sweeter if they ever became a necessity.

 

yea i saw that when i was checkin it out earlier. agreed i can't stand splicin anything into the wiring harness haha that's how nightmares begin .

 

Easiest thing to do is buy the sensors and get these harnesses so no hacking is required.

You don't need them and there has been a recent debate about ever needing them. The ECU in these cars don't actually reference boost amount anywhere, its all load based. And IMHO, anything over 24psi is a waste. Been there, tried it all.. Just my .02. So the stockers will work just fine, I even ran them out to 30psi and still have the same ones on my car today
