Anyone know where I can purchase a genuine GM Map sensor (the one that goes onto the intake manifold)?

Any of the GM parts places online or GM dealerships, find the part number and you can probably even order from Amazon.

Likely a result of anyone with an LS trying to turbo it. That or just stealerships trying to corner the market.

Still might not be a bad idea to call your local Chevy dealership and ask.

I've known folks to use the Holley ones, but idk if they were running factory ECMs or aftermarket EFI.

I recently got a counterfeit looking boost solenoid for my Cruze recently and also a counterfeit Bosch O2 sensor for my Silverado, both from Amazon.com.  My advice is to make sure the item description says specifically it is Genuine GM not just the same part number.

I am running this bosch sensor from ballenger on the LE5 twincharger engine, not sure if this is plug and play with the LNF though

The thing that blows my mind is that my car is running much better with the map cel!!!  I'm getting 22 to 26 psi no hesitation and less knock...

Anyone know why that is?

So I decided to bite the bullet and just got the upgraded Trifecta custom tune to get them to really look at my datalogs.  They did find something that they said they have never seen before.

Esentially, ONLY above 5,000rpms my spark advance intermittently goes from 12 advance to 6 advance back up to 12.  It's obviously not what the tune is commanding and they are having issues determining why it's happening.  FYI it was happening before the tune with Trifecta so I know it's not that. 

Well, they were stumped until I told them that after I got the P0107 code with my MAP sensor the hesitation went away.  They think it's related to the MAP sensor (even though it wasn't throwing a code prior). 

They recommended I go with the 3-bar sensor, but I'm hesitant to spend the money if it doesn't fix the problem.  I'm already dropping $3,000 for the rear diff replacement.
