TurboTobz Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Engine rebuilds are more expensive. Why run the risk?Save £85 if it's inaccurate you'll cost yourself a lot more... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stu Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The genuine GM units are very good and are commonly used in high power setups - just make sure your buying a 3/5bar unit when bidding for any off ebay etc. The part numbers will tell you which version it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Here's a website you can use to reference the part numbers against: http://www.robietherobot.com/storm/mapsensor.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
