Chinese sensors worth it?

Post by bbbrad »

Hi just collecting bits and pieces. I see you can buy 3 bar maps and temp sensors etc from aliexpress. They are cheap..Are they worth it? Or is it a case of you get what you pay for. Also I note that you can get non traditional map sensors, that look like a oil pressure sender. Maybe screw straight into the manifold etc. Are these ok to use?
Thanks in advance.

I've seen this happen with cheap MAP sensors.
