Anyone else experience this? The 3bar map sensor I purchased, CX 2231, aA5Z9F479B does not match up connector wise. Any input appreciated, I have the pigtail kit en route......

The EcoBoost Mustang already has a 3 bar Tmap sensor.

That can't be correct, mine pegs 22.48 PSI which is the reading a 2.5 bar sensor would max out at.

3bar would read to 29.5 I believe.

Correct, the factory map sensor is 3bar. 29.5psi is the max it can read out. If you go above, the boost just reads 29.5psi flat. How are you testing 22.48psi? Most of my custom tuning cars on stock turbo are running 23-24psi.

Ugh.....this is a mistake on my part obviously. However my tuner did not catch it, or did not inform me the upgrade was not needed and they are a very large company....
