There is a 3.3 bar from the Duramax, but I no longer recommend using that due to it's range (or lack of it below 100kPa), and lack of accuracy. I've used one for a while now and will be changing it out soon. No other part# will plug directly in without an adapter harness. That one comes off the 89 Turbo Trans Am with the 3.8l motor.

I'm pretty sure there's no 3bar that's fully compatible and fits in the stock location. I have a 3.3bar from Duramax for sale that will run, but you should verify with your tuner.

I'm using the old Turbo T/A style like this: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-f...ap-sensor.html

That's a better idea even though that plug is the one that you need because using a 3 bar, you usually can't get the kit to have the same output curve. The dials simply don't go far enough.

Use a 2.5 bar sensor and your life will be easy (unless you're running more than 22psi).
