Can you damage the mapsensor with to high pressure?

Well,

When testing for boost leakes, can one apply to high pressure so that the mapsensor inside the ECU will take some sort of damage?

well, if you got 3bar map, it is factory designed to witheld nominal pressure up to 2 bar and probably have some safety factor, and I dont see any reason to give more pressure as testing purposes as little over max boost.
If you give 8bar to the system it is goingto leak for sure.

No that is true, but i sadly gave it around 2.1 bar pressure or 3.1 bar absolute, so got a bit worried if i broke somehow. Ofcourse dont know what will happen if I brake it?

0.1 over max will not harm, 1.0 over max would be different story, but maybe not severe.

[Jonas_R]

Hehe oki that is good to know. Got any idea what the damage would be then?

[AnLe]

Do you have some kind of problem?

[Jonas_R]

Well it seems that iam 0.1 bar under what i normaly have en pressure. But on the other hand iam also getting boost cut off. So it might not be related at all.

I have tested with 7-8 bar the whole system. So it would be possible to see/hear the smallest leak. Hoses get BIG during testing but nothing hasn't exploded yet No map problems either.
