Map sensor should be mounted with hose on underside, they had a recall on 3 doors to fit a bracket to mount it this way as some where failing. The wiring to it should be shielded to prevent interference but I would still keep it as far away from ht leads and coil as I could just to be sure no issues. But 3 inches is probably enough.
The ignition amp on std 3 door is right next to the coil so can't see that being an issue
