do you have anything to prevent boost getting to the MAP?Missing Link or check valves?
check the associated wires for shorts or breaks.a shop manual contains the troubleshooting procedure for the sensor itself- i don't have mine here so i can't provide that.

you prolly damaged the map sensor by boosting on it. They say 11lbs is the max. Any more and you may rupture the diaphram inside it so it doesnt work at all....

just get a blox missing link there like 50 bux and then reset your ecu by pulling the back up fuse in the fuse box under the hood and everything should work fine for you good luck
