3 bar I think. 1bar atmospheric, to it should measure up to 1.8bar reliably.
You have to take into account overboost.

I can find the bosch part no for the 3.5 bar if you like, but it works from a base voltage of 1volt, unlike the standard 2.5/3bar sensors that work on a base voltage of 2volts, so it will need chipping in, it will not work just by fitting.
There is also a 4bar version, but little point as the turbo can't sustain that kind of boost.
