Default UTEC MAP sensor compatibility

Guys,

I have read posts that the TurboXS MAP sensor is required for the UTEC to run in speed density mode (which I don't need right away till I go FI).

Do I have to get a turboXS MAP sensor or will the Zeitronix MAP sensor output work just as well. Anyone have this combo? I'd just as soon get a LCD display w/ boost gauge + WB O2 for the price of the Tuner reg, which has only the WB02.

I found a post about calibrating the MAP input, so I figure any 0-5V map sensor (like the wideband analog output on the Zeitronix) should work fine.

Would appreciate anyone confirming if they have used a non-turboxs MAP sensor successfully with the UTEC.

Do you mean the O2 sensor? If so, the one that comes with the Tuner is a Bosch (or VW, if you choose).

The proprietary piece is the cable between the WB O2 harness and the Tuner.

Sorry, I meant MAP sensor (I edited the posts above). As far as I know, there is no WB02 input on the UTEC (only the tuner/pro).

If the UTEC has a MAP sensor input, then how does one get a boost gauge (or a device such as the zeitronix) to read the input also? Just split it off into two leads?

My planned config is:

WBO2 >>> Zeitronix >>> serial cable to carPC with input read by mps_utecLogger software

MAP input >>> Zeitronix & UTEC (somehow???)

UTEC >>> USB cable to carPC with input read by mps_utecLogger software
