how much boost will you be running? The only real way to tell what map sensor you have fitted is to open up the ECU and look at it. I reckon it's highly unlikely to have been changed though unless the car was already running significantly more than 1 bar when you got it (and whatever has been done to it has been done properly).
this is with an eaton charger isn't it? I've no idea what boost to expect from that. I'd probably just go for it and see what happens. Changing the map sensor isn't a simple task as you'll need a different ecu remap to suit and given the spec, you'll be unlikely to find anything suitable off the shelf so would need a custom remap.

14 psi is a bar. well its actually 14.5pm a few eaton owners (Vwmk3jon, giorgio, lance) and find out what they were running, to give you some idea of what to expect!whats your full spec list from the previous owner?
yeah thats the standard 200kPa map sensor. It's maxed out at 1 bar boost.
