I've been gathering info from the forum and looking at my new to me 08 gxp. Are the MAP sensors on this car 3 bar? If so, is that any indication that this car has some sort of tune? I thought i read somewhere that the 3 bar sensors wouldn't work optimally with the factory tune. Thx

Now what you need to figure out is if it's the first version GM tune or the version 2nd version GM tune. Version one had the GM tune crimped into the engine bay wiring harness. Bad crimps lead to the GXP losing boost and going into limp mode. The solution is to open up the crimps and soldering the wires together. There's threads on how to do this.

The second version included an engine wiring harness adapter making it plug and play. Unfortunately, you cannot install the engine harness adapter if the tune was crimped in.
