Good luck with your search 90% of the auto parts stores out there don't carry the correct model. GM PART # 12223861

You will also need the pigtail connector.

You are better off buying a omnipower 3 or 4 bar direct bolt on sensor.

The only way I was able to get one was order it. All my parts stores were saying 3 to 5 days. All wanted over $100 for it. Got it of Ebay for 30 shipped and had it in 3 days.

The GM sensors suck, just get a good sensor like aem or omni/hondata, motorollas work good to. the GM is just out dated old crap IMO.

Moni will run you 99 bucks shipped on the bay
aem 149 shipped on the bay

Why do you say the GM 3 bar suck when there are 100's if not 1000's of people on here using it? There is only one other person I found so far on here who said its no good and they got "tired of replacing pistons" - Does the GM 3 Bar go bad under boost or something? Plz let me know as I was gonna use one of these lol.

Ive found there not as acurate and they dont go as low into vacuum as better newer designed units like hondata/omnipower aem. There not mu much cheaper either and its much more convenient to put in an omni unit that goes in stock location and with stock wiring connector

100's if not 1000's of peoplee are just cheap and dont want to spend a few extra bucks for better parts. Hence all the people that still insist on buying ebay turbo kits, i rest my case lol

LOL I gotta agree with you about those eBay turbo kits and I did not know that about the GM sensor, wow. BTW, do you know if the free version of Crome supports the Omni 4 Bar?

I think he is saying they are kinda old tech. they worked great when they were the only option. but when u can now get a direct replacement 3,4,5, bar that not only is very fuctional but keeps under hood clutter down. but yea 1000's have had success with them. BTW what all gm cars did they come in.

Hondata got it the wiring and install info posted on their site. It can't be THAT BAD if Hondata recommends using them...
