Manifold pressure sender - Which one?

What’s the difference between these 2 other that price? Both say Garmin in the description.

If the price was close, the decision would be easy. A 1 to 3 $$ difference makes me wonder.

I need one and need some guidance.

One has a TSO for certificated aircraft. One does not. Guess which is which

Touché.

Guess that answers that!

I don't have any inside track here- I just saw the TSO number in the picture of the one on the left

FYI- the cheaper one is made by Kavlico. A while back there was a batch of their oil pressure sensors that started to spew oil. I think Vans has a service bulletin about them.

Supposedly that has been resolved. When I ordered my avionics the G3X engine sensor kit came from the Garmin dealer with Kavelco sensors so thats what I installed. Time will tell whether they hold up or not.

They're both made by Sensata (nee Kavlico)...
