the 1 bar and 3 bar map sensors are out for the power fc. The most they have tried 750cc's at the most at carboy, and they were able to make it it fine. the setting are in metric, both there are a few in standard. Carboy has the 1 bar and 3 bar at the same price.

yeah im running the power fc and im using 720's and the MSD 3 bar map. there seems to be a problem with the map sensor when i let off the throttle the CEL comes on they told me they are in the process of fixing this problem.

When you hooked up the 3 bar to the map what did you do. Jsut change the percentages in the map settings. The screen where you can take every .5 vlotages and alter the signal? Thats what i plan to do im jsut hoping it works.

yeah,can you just use a gm map sensor?

Ok i have it all fugured out. After spending an hour on the phone yesteday calling everywhere this is the outcome. Yes you can run a 3 bar map sensor with the Power FC if you ordered the 3 bar FC. There are 2 versoins apparently, a regualr one (2 bar) and a 3 bar. If you have alread have a regular one you can get it reprogrammed but it costs a little bit of loot and there are only 2 places in teh Us that do it. One is Apexi themselves and there is XS Engineering. If you can get Apexi to do it they charge nothing except shipping charges. You can only do this if you bought it from an autorized distributer (Carboy, XS, or STI or something like that in NY). If you didint purchase it from an authorised distributer then you will have to sent it to XS and pay to have them program it to be a 3 bar unit. The cost to change the program is 150 plus shipping. I am sending mine out today or tomorrow so Ill let you know how it works.
