DOING A TURBO SET UP AND WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS USED AN RDX MAP SENSOR?

In that link, to the right above the battery, you'll see on the intake tube - a bolt-on MAF sensor. From what I can tell, the RDX has zero need for a MAP sensor, meaning it probably won't have one. I've read that they use both, but I doubt its a serious one, as the stock civic MAP reads up to 11.2psi, and I doubt the RDX was designed for 20+ psi.

BTW 2.5/3/4bar motorola/freescale MAP sensors = $15, GM 3bar = $50, Honda Map sensor = ~$250-450, as its usually only sold as the whole throttle body/tps/map assembly for all their motors. Only thing I'd rock from the RDX is the entire engine, or the TURBO badge. Thats it.

the RDX does have a map sensor, it's right next to the intake air temp sensor, and as for cost, I work at a Honda dealership and can get it at cost. I was just wondering if it would be feasable to go with the map from the RDX or would it be simpler to just get a GM 3bar. being the Honda junkie I am it's just a big H thing...
