Boost Sensor And Defi Gauge Map Sensor

[gttiwanna]

Just wondering has any one thought or tryed of hooking up

The factory boost sensor to the defi gauge map sensor since

By my understanding they both read the boost

I recently broke my boost sensor ( the hitachi thing that sits on the fire wall

Above the bov) and my check engine light is on and I noticed that

My defi gauge is hooked up to the same vacuum line and it has 3 wires

That go to it

So I was wondering if the def map sensor reads the boost but only sends the

Signal to the gauge what if u hooked the standard wires up to the defi wires

Wouldn't that tell the ecu what boost it's running etc

You can call me dumb or anything thing u like but I was just pondering

And would make life easier and cheaper for loads of people who break

The stupid lil hose that goes to the stock sensor

Cheers Brenton

99% sure it wouldn't work, the factory map sensor pretty sure sends a voltage signal which the factory boost gauge is calibrated to. I can almost guarantee it's not a digital signal
