Motorola. All of the aftermarket MAP sensors that I know of are based on the Motorola MAP sensors. I'm running a Motorola 4 bar in an OEM casing.

Motorola is what is used in the Omni/Hondata sensors, and Delphi is the main supplier for the GM 1/2/3 bar sensors IIRC. There are more than a few actual producers of them, which is why some people complain about changes in their tune when they have to exchange their GM sensor with another.

The AEM 5bar I'm not sure of, but given the body's shape, I'd assume it's a Honeywell-produced sensor. If you need more than 44psi of pressure, you should already know all this... Most people won't use more than 20psi (pump gas) or 30psi (most turbos' upper limit).

The AEM sensors are produced by SSI. AEM rebadges them just like they do with the boost control solenoids.
