Although the fact you are asking about a 5bar and dont know what's involved...is rather worrying.

Is anything else in your setup built to make use of such boost that you feel the need for such a sensor ?

And the Bosch is usually 4 bar ?

5 bar is typically 4 bar positive pressure. So as close as 60psi as it gets.

That's a lotta boost !!

wiring it is no different to a normal map sensor....

1 wire is 0v
1 wire is 5v
1 wire is signal between 0-5v

simple really as imatrukas said its a temp sensor as well so that would also give you 1 wire for the temp signal.

as on a cossie pressure and temp take a common 0v from pin 11 i guess there is no reason why you couldn't use this sensor in your plenum to do away with the 3 bar and the manifold absolute temp sensor - guess it would depend on scope and spec of the temp range as its for a truck LOL...

With respect, it isnt the same, as the power supply pins are reversed.

If you just plug ia 5 bar sensor into the standard loom, it will destroy the sensor at worst or at best just age it significantly.

The sensor is originally from a diesel truck and as diesels dont generate any significant vacuum, these sensors are highly inaccurate in vacuum readings to a point that it cannot read below negative 0.5 bar so attention to detail must be paid in idle mapping and closed loop control.

the plug dont fit either simon - lol but again all the wires are there lol which was my point - doesn't need rewiring....

How can the power pins be reversed as you have :-

Sensor
Cossie loom

Surely you connect the correct pins from the cossie ecu to the sensor....or have i missed somert here...
