Default cobolt 2 bar map sensor? 2 or 2.5 Bar???

I want to tune my car SD, and run 14-16 PSI on my forged LS6 with my D1-sc set up. OK with the boost i will be making the colbolt 2 bar map will be fine. But if someone wanted to run more boost (20psi) would the sensor work?

I heard somewhere that a 2 bar map sensor is really a 2.5 , good for 20-21 PSI?

Thank you for your help

If you want to run more than that, pick up a 3bar sensor

Yes, you can, but you can't control anything past 14.7 psi.

If you plan on running 20 psi, which a D1 won't, get a 3 BAR MAP, thats what I have and its just fine. You probably won't see more than 17 psi out of a D1-SC (except for freaks).
