It's a little black sensor right next to the boost solenoid that receives a boost reference from the inlet manifold via its vac hose connection. The sensor is also wired to the ECU, so that the ECU knows what the boost is at any point in time. The MAP sensors are rated at a max level of absolute boost, so when they fail, could lead to overboosting, as it won't be able to tell the ECU when boost cut has been breached, etc...
(I believe this happened recently to member SkullFudge's gorge P1 running c.500bhp!)
Very important - replace it!

If it is the MAP sensor, then you will probably be getting fuel cut as the boost comes in - this feels like you've suddenly stamped on the brakes while accelerating!
I think they are over £100 new, but you could try a breakers (such as Grade A Subaru) who should sell you a 2nd/hand one for a lot less!!
