Has anyone used the omni 4 bar sensor yet?
Does this log up to 4 bar of boost or is it really a 3 bar capable sensor for logging and the switch to SD?
With what I know of 3 bars, mostly gm stuff, that is good to 28 psi. I would like to have the capacity to go higher then that someday since I run 26 on pump now.
4 bar should be good to over 40 if I am thinking about this right

You can run any sensor that you want if you have the scaling for it. IIRC the omni 4bar is fairly common for this swap and the scaling should be in post 2 of this thread.
4bar would in fact get you to approximately 43psi or something like that.

I've noticed other members maps with loads as low as 7ish. My lowest load logged so far has been 10.3..which equaled 22kPa. So that figure will be my lowest or first value in the MAP table correct?
Or, would I want to go lower just to cover my ****?
And then, depending on my trouble spots, or where I want my most resolution, I go up from there?...
My main purpose for this conversion is for E85 low load/cruising areas (ie, jerking/bucking). The interesting thing is, my car doesn't have that symptom on pump. So, I'm logging pump, will switch back to E, note differences. Hopefully should be able to have the "perfect" running car after all of this. Yeah right.

I'm currently reviewing pump gas load/psi maptracer. Is it better to figure out the calc for KPA with an average for that load, minimum, or maximum?
If the lowest load I got on pump was 10.9, would I want my lowest setting to be lower than that, or should that be my lowest setting? I've also noticed that my KPA values are higher than the examples given. Here's what I've got on pump so far...I will do a comparison with E85 in a few days....
10.9 17.6
40.0 55
50 62
60 75
70 90
80 97
120 122
408 408
Edit: I have my values backwards as they sit in ecuflash. I have load on the left and kpa on the right.

I have the Omni 4 bar sensor in place on my car right now (still waiting on my gm IAT sensor to come in) and I noticed that when I'm in vacuum the most vacuum I show in Evoscan is around 10.8-11.8 in/hg on a decel, while my gauge will read around -18. At idle my gauge says ~8-10 in/hg while the sensor says ~6 in/hg. That seems a bit odd, especially since the idle is pretty smooth for it supposedly having very little vacuum from the HKS 272's that I'm running. Boost pressure seems pretty well spot on with the gauge reading ~24 and the sensor saying 24.6-24.8 psi.
I've seen a few posts where people are talking about vacuum. You do realize that when you are logging a pressure sensor with a scaling for psi that, when in vacuum, your logs will be showing negative psi, right? To get to in/hg it is roughly *2. So, -8psi will be 16 in/hg.

Unrelated, did you end up finding the culprit for the IPW issue?
