That’s what I thought but it’s not quite the same

Does it have any markings on it ? Does it say Syvecs ?

And that crappy silicone hose looks like it's starting to split already, get some proper rubber hose on it

@Ryan.g supplied this as a Syvecs map sensor in 2011, I just don’t know which type it is.

Strange about the vacuum hose on the map sensor as that’s brand new

Is the sensor not working or what's up ?

I hate those little silicone hoses for anything. They're just very flimsy.

It’s messed up a few times now, the last time it completely packed up, it has since shown some readings again, but it is 100% time to replace it. Can’t have it happening again

Odd, usually that sort of thing is quite reliable.

But if in doubt, replace it. It's a critical sensor so needs to be right.

Yeah many people been saying they are very reliable usually, I’m sure this one is very temperamental. Being 10yrs old it’s maybe just giving up now? Searched everywhere but can’t find the exact same as the one I have

If you know whether it's a 3, 4, 5 bar or whatever, that's mostly all you need to know.

Or just buy one that suits the boost ranges you need to operate with and just adjust the sensor calibration to suit when fitted.
