Stock Boost Sensor??

Hey, I've looked for a previous thread on this, but to no avail. Anyway, who knows what the point of the boost sensor is on a 96 SE? It was bolted on to the stock ram intake, and when I put in my CAI, i don't what to do with it. Can anyone explain what they did, or what the point of it is? Thanks

there is a point- it measures the atmospheric pressure i beileve and gives that info to ur car
there is no point- cause it doesnt affect ur driving or mileage or nothing

u dont know wat to do with it? my check engine light code came on to it but when i fixed my maf it went away, usually it comes back in 3 days, u can ship that **** here and it would be greatly appreciated (im the type of guy that wants his **** stock and to run forever) -(to cherish the moments) lol
so ya...the boost sensor a.k.a absolute pressure sensor
'works cited'
if this helps...http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....=1#post3804775

The boost sensor measures manifold absolute pressure (MAP) and atmospheric pressure. The valve it's attached to switches between the two depending on what the ECU calls for.
