*This* double-connector is hard to find; you'll have better luck by buying separate connections.... ------------------

It's been quite awhile since I've looked closely at mine... but I suspect with a minimal amount of fuss, that you'd be able to slide the hoses directly onto the MAP sensor without the need for that rubber fitting.

To me, don't slide the hoses onto your MAP sensor!

Okay, after looking at the diagram above, I was reminded that those hoses don't actually connect to the MAP sensor.  However, that doesn't negate my earlier suggestion of simply eliminating the rubber connector if the hoses can be attached to the corresponding tubes.

My point was that no connections of any sort may be necessary.
