    Ouch....I figured if the turbo shit the bed, then I would just buy a new GOOD turbo. I have seen where they start getting play in the bearings.

    Cheap is not good ... good is not cheap The joy of a good deal diminishes, shortly after the part fails!

    Just saying

    I don't think anyone that suggests that the resolution "will be poor" has actually driven a vehicle with a 2 BAR MAP sensor.
    I'll second that. I'm using $58 with a 3 bar. The most likely practical issue is going to be with BARO updates. When the ecm does a BARO update at high throttle with boost present it will believe atmospheric pressure has exceeded 14.7 psi!
