the light is on a key cycle anyway so it would have turned itself out after a bit... what was the code before you had it cleared?

The diagnosis you received seems a little vauge. You need to find what the actual code was/is and post it up on here.
Worth checking the vagcom section on here and finding a local member with VCDS to help you.

Maybe get a 2nd opinion or find the code before ordering bits. A faulty boost pressure sensor (map sensor) is relatively cheap but dont go changing it without a genuine diagnosis.
Personaly I would have driven the car and datalogged the map sensor to check the values first, if this was inconclusive I would remove the sensor and use a vac-boost pump to apply a calibrated amount of boost to the sensor while testing the output of the sensor at various levels of pressure and vaccum to determine if this is the fault.

My charge air/boost pressure sensor failed ages ago, resulting in a dismal lack of power (natch). Was replaced under warranty, but as I recall it wasn't
too
expensive - maybe £60 for the part and fitting? Was some time ago so can't be sure.
