the 1989-up mass-air Mustangs have a BPS (Barometric Pressure Sensor) that is identical to the MAP sensor, except for the vacuum line.

if your converting to mass air you have to disconnect the map sensor... so does that pretty much make it a bap sensor??

yea just cap off the vacuum line from the intake to the map sensor, and let the open end of the map sensor read the air insead of the manifold.
