04 C32 actual images of MAP sensor under intercooler painful removal
There are a lot diagrams from WIS on the MAP sensor location below the throttle plate in one hell of a place below the intercooler, but no actual step by step and images to remove this tough little bugger for code P0105.
So here you go:
1. Remove air cleaners then You have to remove the 4 bolts holding the throttle plate to the super charger housing. (((( Make sure you shove a rag into the housing and remove it later))))
2. Then you have to remove the plastic vacuum line that has the red snap ring. Circled in green. First you press the 2 black tabs, the red ring is exposed, DO NOT pull on the plastic line, first press in the red ring then slide the line out.
3. Use the space created to get a 1/4 inch extension and a torx socket way deep down to where the sensor is, you can see it in the images. Red arrow.
4. Have a magnet ready. get the bolts out then pop the sensor, taking the connector off is a pain, press its connector release tab against the fuel rail edge and try to separate the sensor with a screw driver from the connector.
Install is reverse this sequence and a big pain in the A#$.
Hopefully the images help, since there are none posted.

Was your old MAP throwing a code?
I replaced mine last year in my quest to fixed my intermittent SC issue. It was a PITA for sure. I had the driver side intake manifold off which made it a bit easier.
