    Is it worth fitting a 3 bar vmap?

    My car is running a stage 1 chip and I will hopefully be upgrading to Pauls homefries in the near future. Is it beneficial to get a 3 bar vmap fitted or would this be better when I upgrade to a rs2/gt turbo and chipset?

    Wait until you change the turbo.

      Correct me if i'm wrong but a home fry chip wont work with a vmap sensor?

      The readings from the sensor have to be calibrated on mapping to compensate for the difference between OEM and VMAP.

        A homefry won't work right with any 3 bar MAP sensor AFAIK.
        Wait for the upgrade.

          Just found this thread - its a no brainer to tweak the 'homefry' for 3bar MAP or VMAP if there is sufficient demand for it.
