Actually I just had to replace mine because it was the cause of me failing inspection. (My CEL came on on the way to DMV... FAIL)
It is actually called a couple of different things. Boost sensor (marked on the part it's self), MAP sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor), or Absolute Pressure Sensor. I know this because the dealer called it one thing, parts stores called it a second, and the service manual called it a third.....
Just tuck it in somewhere or zip tie it to something that doesn't get hot.

the boost sensor or absoulute pressure sensor measured atmospheric pressure.
just zip tie or tuck it away form moving oarts, and then you shold be fine. I made a littl ebracket to hold mine but if you don't it will okay.
