MAP Sensor on blower build
What do you all do with the MAP sensor on a Z06 when you install a blower? Stock MAP sensor won't work and the ZR1 3-bar MAP sensor doesn't fit. Right now, I have mine dialed out, and am waiting for a modified sensor to arrive that will read boost. What have others here done?

Thanks Josh! I'll cancel the order and get one of these. I'm planning to upgrade to the YSI, so am I better off with the 3.3 BAR MAP sensor? Any of the two above will fit I take it and just bolt right on and plug right in with no mods?

It would sure be nice if someone figured out how to make the factory boost guage in the ZR1 cluster work in a non-ZR1 car. 
Mine powers up and does the sweep with the rest of the guages, but stays pegged all the way to the left.
There has to be a way to get a MAP sensor to talk to the computer or guage.

Apologies in advance for any ignorance, but if I install the GM 2 Bar MAP Sensor #12615136 (thanks Josh!) will an Aeroforce gauge properly read the boost? For the scaling, is that done with a correction factor on the Aeroforce gauge or with the tuning of the ECU? If I install the GM 2 Bar MAP sensor will the ECU get a correct reading from the MAP without any tuning?

If you install a 2+ bar sensor and configure the offset and linear to make the ECU read it properly then the Aeroforce will read it through the bus just like the stock MAP and show boost.

You don't need the physical BCM. You'd just need somebody to flash your existing one to a ZR1 VIN number.
Again, I can't promise it's not going to have communication errors with other modules, but it should be able to poll the MAP sensor signal from the ECM. Sending that information to the gauge cluster is Class 2 serial, and will be no problem.
No I wasn't.
