MD305600 MAP / MDP Sensor: 2026 OEM Compliance Guide for Mitsubishi EVO 7/8, 2G DSM Eclipse & Talon | Koeep Technical Authority

by flippancy 08 Jun 2026
Guide scope: the MD305600 MAP/MDP intake pressure sensor — the 2001-2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII and VIII (4G63T turbo), the 1995-1999 second-generation DSM turbo cars (Mitsubishi Eclipse GST/GSX, Eagle Talon TSi Turbo), and the 1995-1999 420A cars it also covers (Eclipse RS/GS, Talon ESi).

Your check-engine light points at the manifold pressure sensor. The catalog calls it MAP, MDP, or MD305600 — all the same part. Order the MD305600 MAP/MDP sensor for the Lancer Evolution 7/8 and 2G DSM Eclipse and Talon (OE number E1T19172, three-wire connector, mini-blade terminals).

MDP is not MAP: the names decide the job

The hardware is identical. The jobs differ, and so do the symptoms.

  • MDP (Manifold Differential Pressure). The turbo-car factory name. It reads manifold pressure so the ECU can confirm EGR — exhaust gas recirculation — really flows when commanded.
  • MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure). The same sensor as the engine's main load input: how much air it breathes, which sizes the fuel.

On the turbo 4G63T the ECU meters fuel with a mass airflow sensor ahead of the turbo. A bad manifold sensor there means a light and a failed emissions test, not a running change. On the 420A cars it is the fuel math.

Two fueling strategies, one part number

This split is why owner reports contradict each other. Both are right.

  • Turbo cars (Evo VII/VIII, Eclipse GST/GSX, Talon TSi Turbo). Airflow-metered. A failure shows up as a code, a failed readiness monitor, sometimes P0401 — never a stumble.
  • 420A cars (Eclipse RS/GS, Talon ESi). Speed density: the ECU computes air from pressure and temperature. A failure stumbles the engine — hard starts, poor throttle response, uneven idle.

The electronics and sensors collection groups the sensors and wiring behind that choice. The airflow-sensor side is covered in the 3-bar MAP sensor guide for the GM LS9, LSA, and LS3 turbo boost upgrade.

One sensor, eleven catalog numbers

Number What it is Notes
MD305600 Mitsubishi OEM service number Factory number for the 2001-2004 Lancer Evolution VII/VIII and 1995-1999 2G DSM turbo cars; also crossed across wide 1991-2004 Mitsubishi applications (3000GT, Galant, Montero Sport, Diamante)
E1T19172 Mitsubishi Electric manufacturer number The OE maker's number stamped into the sensor family; the main listing ships against it
MR578946 / MB578946 Earlier Mitsubishi references Production-era numbers listed as interchangeable by supplier catalogs
E1T19171 Companion Mitsubishi Electric reference Cross-listed beside E1T19172 on the MD305600 and E1T19172 manifold absolute pressure sensor listing
AS42 / 5S2395 / MA0087 Aftermarket catalog numbers The numbers parts-store shelves lead with
SU4278 / SU6758 / PS10078 Further aftermarket cross-references Additional interchange numbers on the same sensor family
3-wire connector Electrical interface Reference feed, ground, and signal output on mini-blade terminals — the circuit the P0107/P0108 checks run against

Every number buys the same part: a three-wire manifold pressure sensor that bolts to the intake manifold. Match the number your lookup returns, then compare price and warranty.

The stock sensor answers a question the emissions monitor asks. A wide-range MAP answers a question the stock ECU never asks — until you reflash the ROM.

Reading the codes this sensor raises

Three codes live on this circuit. Wiring first for P0107 and P0108; sensor first for P0106.

  • P0106 — Range/Performance. The signal is sane electrically but wrong physically. Usual causes: a carbon-clogged port, a vacuum leak, or a drifted sensor.
  • P0107 — Circuit Low Input. The signal is pinned toward ground. Check the harness and connector before buying anything.
  • P0108 — Circuit High Input. The signal is stuck high, often an open ground or a reference feed touching the signal wire.

Turbo cars can add a fourth: P0401, insufficient EGR flow. A drifted reading stops the monitor from crediting a healthy EGR valve. The same code mapping is in the Super Duty MAP sensor DTC mapping and technical guide for the 2011-2019 F-250 through F-550.

Swapping the sensor in about twenty minutes

The sensor sits on the intake manifold under one fastener and one three-wire connector. No programming or relearn follows.

  1. Unplug the connector and remove the fastener.
  2. Lift the sensor out and inspect the port underneath it.
  3. Clean the port. EGR carbon makes a new sensor report the same lies, so this decides whether the repair holds.
  4. Transfer or renew the O-ring, seat the new sensor, torque the fastener, reconnect.
  5. Clear the codes, then drive so the readiness monitors re-run.

If the complaint is a hanging or unstable idle rather than a code, check the idle air control valve too. The idle air control valve for the Lancer Evolution 4, 5, and 6 (2.0L) meters off-idle air, and Mitsubishi idle-air patterns — including the Mirage MD614743 valve — are mapped in the 1997-2000 Mitsubishi Mirage idle air control valve technical guide.

Replacing a sensor is not the same job as logging boost

The stock unit is a low-range sensor sized for its checking duty. A wider sensor adds no power on a stock Evolution 8. The stock ECU never reads it, so the car just sets codes.

Real boost logging takes a wider-range sensor plus ROM changes:

  • Rescale the MAP comparison table.
  • Repoint the periphery address that selects the sensor's transfer function.
  • Retune the EGR pressure scalar.
  • Set the bit that disables the stock EGR monitor.

Draw the line cleanly. A stock or stock-managed car takes the same low-range function under any of the eleven numbers. A reflashed ROM or standalone ECU belongs to its calibrator.

The five-minute check that separates sensor from wiring

Watch live data before you order. Do not trust the code alone.

  • Key the ignition on with the engine off. The reading should sit at atmospheric.
  • Start the engine. The reading should move smoothly with throttle.
  • A flat line across idle and cruise convicts the sensor or its clogged port.
  • Pinned at an extreme, or flickering when you wiggle the connector → the three-wire circuit. Verify the reference feed, ground, and terminals.

That check prevents the most common repeat failure here — a good sensor over a blocked port.

One sensor, two philosophies — and the codes each failure raises MD305600 sensor on the intake manifold 3-wire connector signal output to ECU 4G63T turbo ECU 2001-2004 Evo VII/VIII 1995-1999 GST/GSX/TSi MAF fuels · MDP verifies EGR 420A NA ECU 1995-1999 RS/GS/ESi speed density, no MAF MAP is the load input When the reading goes wrong P0106 drifted or implausible · P0401 EGR monitor cannot credit flow P0107 / P0108 point at the harness, not the manifold The countermeasure path watch live data → clean the port → verify the 3-wire circuit then fit a cross-referenced MD305600 unit · drive cycle for readiness Bench rule: the signal should read atmospheric key-on and track throttle running — a flat line convicts sensor or port; a pinned extreme convicts wiring.
The part is identical; its consequences are not. On a turbo car a bad reading embarrasses the emissions monitor; on a speed-density car it bends the fuel math.

Frequently asked questions

Which vehicles does the MD305600 sensor fit?

The 2001-2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII and VIII and the 1995-1999 2G DSM turbo cars — Eclipse GST, GSX, and Eagle Talon TSi Turbo. Catalogs also cross it across a wider 1991-2004 Mitsubishi range.

Is the MDP sensor the same thing as a MAP sensor?

Same hardware, different factory labels. MDP is the turbo-car name for the EGR-checking duty; MAP describes the same sensor working as the engine's main load input on the 420A cars.

Will upgrading to a bigger MAP sensor add power on my stock Evolution 8?

No. The stock ECU fuels with the mass airflow sensor, so a wide-range unit just sets codes until the ROM is retuned.

What are the symptoms of a failing MD305600 sensor?

On the turbo cars: a check-engine light (P0106, sometimes P0401) and a failed readiness monitor. On the 420A cars the sensor is the load input, so expect stumbling, hard starting, and poor throttle response.

I have P0107 or P0108 — do I need a new sensor?

Not yet. Both codes are electrical and point at the harness or connector first — verify the reference feed, the ground, and the three mini-blade terminals before buying.

Where is the sensor located and how long does replacement take?

On the intake manifold, under one fastener and one three-wire connector. About twenty minutes — clean the port, no relearn, then a normal drive cycle.

Can I use this sensor for a speed-density conversion on my turbo DSM?

A conversion needs a manifold pressure sensor, an intake air temperature input, and a tuned fuel table. The stock-range unit serves stock repairs; range selection belongs to the calibrator.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
