Right final update on my car for anyone with the same fault. Fitted a new map sensor and it's been sweet ever since I kept cleaning the old sensor but the fault would come back after a couple of days. New sensor working perfect :)

An extra update for anyone with the same problem. My car faulted again today!!! I worked the wastegate rod and made no difference so I pulled up again and removed the map sensor and sprayed brake cleaner into it to give it a good clean after that it ran perfect so must have been the map sensor...
