I use the 3.5 bar map sensor from Aeroforce and have it hooked to my Analogic. It will hoook to the interceptor too.
That is probably the best way to go. If you dont have an interceptor already, Id reccomend an interceptor. Reads all kindsof stuff from your OBDII port as wel as 2 analog inputs, one of wich you can use for a wideband, the other for a 3.5bar map sensor. Keep in mind that the Interceptor can/does read boost data from the OBDII port, and being digital, it might be able to go past 20 psi (If the PCM can see it past 20)

You can go dual interceptor then. Bring up the Map and watch that. Its from the PCM so I dont know how accurate it is, but if that doesn't work for you, get the 3.5 bar map sensor from Aeroforce, and if you want, get an analogic gauge instead of a second interceptor.

does this actually work? Not sure on that one. I'm also in the hunt for a new Boost gauge. I don't want/need an interceptor, so what are some other suggestions? Anything out there that can be a plug and play with the existing wires from the stock gauge?

Im 99 % sure a tc gauge won't work, they read differently. Same reason there are 2 different versions of the interceptor for the sc and tc balts.

Or get a prosport boost gauge, they go to 25 psi. They are relatively inexpensive and the DSM/supra crowd loves em.

Yeah, love my pro sport electronic boost gauge. Not the fastest responding gauge but it should keep up with your boost in 2nd gear.
