right next to the airbox (or air filter), you'll see a square box with a wiring harness plugged in the side. That would be it.
edit: LOL I guess it's time to clean the screen on my laptop.

Map sensor is ontop of the intake manifold. Close to the passenger side.

The MAP sensor is on the intake manifold. It only has two bolts holding it and a clip for the connector. It is in the red oval.

Thanks alot!

But here is the problem. My car is JDM so meaning there is no MAP sensor. However did a diagnostic and 2 error codes came up. One being the map sensor and the other is the oil temperature sensor. So why does the code come up for a map sensor if my car doesn't come with one?

If you look at the pic on the link, thats a jdm engine bay and the MAP its right there. Look for an unplugged harness and does your intake manifold have a hole to plug it in?

Pretty sure the EGT lines are deleted after the E7.
I think both these pics are of E7.
I have E4 manifolds with map sensors on them...

Really dude? Just don't say anything if you don't know what you're talking about.

Here is a picture. Its there without a doubt. The guy talking about it being next to ur air filter is getting it mixed up for the stock boost solenoid or the MAF which couldnt be anymore wrong. At least i hope thats his problem.
If ur replacing it i suggest getting an omni 4 bar map sensor. Its great if u plan on tuning. Most tuners suggest getting one.

!
There is a hole where the male part seats itself and actually in that hole there is a small pinhole which is there for the map sensor to get its readings. Beware of when u replace it to do a boost leak check cuz after i put my omni map sensor on it the O ring that came with it was undersized and i was getting a tiny boost leak from it. I ended up swapping O rings and using the stock map sensor o ring. Just an fyi.
Good luck man.
