If a MAP sensor is wired incorrectly even for a instant, it will damage it and it will not read correctly.

When was this last working?

The factory map on firewall was working fine just before I pulled the motor to turbo . The map was never taken out it was left in the car it has its own factory wiring straight to ecu

Double check the wiring, if it was fine before removing things from the engine bay. Try the ECU in a known good vehicle to see if it reads correctly.
