A 2.5 BAR sensor will be more than enough for you.

2.5 bar will read up to ~22psi. 3 bar will read up to ~28psi. I haven't run the numbers, but I'm pretty sure you can make 300-350 on that turbo before you'll need the 3 bar.

Assuming you're chipping it to tune, it doesn't matter what ECU you use.

If you aren't chipping it to tune, I'll start taking bets now on how long until your motor grenades.

True, but running a P28 won't hurt anything. Just ignore the VTEC settings and set the crossover to an RPM the motor will never see.

If the P06 is cheaper, then that's probably your best choice. What do you plan to tune it with? Crome, Neptune?

It mostly matters what you and your tuner prefer. If the person tuning it is more experienced with one, go with that one. You'll get a higher quality tune since they will know the ins and outs of the software better.

He should be proficient with most, but some tuners do more work with one specific program, so they will know all the "quirks" and that sort of thing just due to being more experienced with it. And that translates into a smoother tune.
