No the Map sensor on a B18c5 is mounted on top of the the trottle body.
and yes that FMU is JUNK.. Might as well kiss your motor good bye. Go with a Chipped P28 and a basemap until you can get it tuned.

Re: help with supercharger
OP, I too would greatly recommend ditching the FMU, especially with a Type-R engine with such high compression. Get a chipped ECU and get it tuned. JR setups are prone to high intake temps and the compression of a C5 will be working against you. Detonation can easily be an issue.
I understand you want to get it running. I would recommend buying a base map for your setup, removing the FMU, and taking it to a tuner.

John can set you up with a very safe map allowing you to drive the car to get it properly tuned. If you look at the massive JR setup thread in the FI forum you will see that EVERYONE recommends ditching the FMU.
Did you set the base timing per JR instructions?
