It looks identical to a 3i map sensor, except one of the corners is at a funny angle if that makes sense?

Yea it would affect it, although i doubt you've caused damage, just dont get boosting it until you have a proper one!

The OFAC ones are always that obscure shape, and usually have a metal tag on the front with the part number.

might be worth getting an OFAB ECU and using a marelli map?

Gives you a little more room for tuning aswell with OFAB because you can go up to a 3 bar one
