How does this fit the current replacement/repair of one of them? For me the report sounds like they suspect some sort of leak in the MAP sensor line as contributing factor for the power loss/fire, but maybe I misunderstand that point.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. There are shops which specialize in repairing and overhauling obsolete gauges, just like there are still engine shops which overhaul R-2800's

Bear in mind, there was no mention of BMEP in the report, it's only been a point of discussion in this thread.
