MAP sensor Q

[formby]

i live in Orlando fl.... below sea level.....i know that an OBD0 map sensor is good for 9. something psi ...does this change because of altitude....could i run more boost than if i was @4k feet above sea level with the stock map sensor

i know its a stupid question but i'm just wondering if below sealevel altitudes change the reading of the sensor...

yes, but we're talking about .1 psi -ish for your 50 feet below sea level.

... so would it be correct to state that if i lived in denver my sensor would not let me boost passed 7.5 ish

thanks alot
i am thinking of taking a job in denverand i'm thinking about things that would affect my set up

its not that drastic...

the usdm computer has a baro sensor on it anyway and kinda balances it out a little.

if you're hittin map cut at sealevel at say 10.0 psi, in denver i'd say you're gonna hit it at about 9.9
