its in the ECU, its prob the vac line from the ecu to the inlet/brake servo is damaged rather than the map sensor itself

Is this the brown and the black line running into the airbox ?

No, it's a vac line running from behind the manifold to the ECU.

Any motor place/DIY store should sell vac piping.

Can you take it back ? I got a lambda and controller for £120. You should be able to get to it in place, obviously would need jacking up etc.
