Default Upgraded MAP?

I believe the stock MAP on the GSR can read 10psi max. If i run 10psi daily and get a spike in boost for some reason the computer wont see the air coming in and wont and fuel......which will blow the motor tight? WELL ant aftermarket MAP i can get that will let me ready something like 20psi'ish for future upgrades and psi increases? BTW how hard are they to install and WHERE IS IT. thanks guys

3 bar MAP sensor.

I am running 11 psi on the stock sensor. It maxes out at 11.2 psi. A boost spike won't affect anything unless it is a pretty large one. I have spiked up to 12.6 psi and there was no CEL.

I have a 3.5 bar Zeitronix MAP sensor that will be put in when I decide on rescaling all the maps and retuning.

I would wait. 10 psi will be pushing it with that turbo.
