Default Eating map sensors

Any ideas why my car would be eating map sensors?? It is procharged but only sees 8.5 lbs of boost. If I put a new map sensor in it, it will run for about 10 minutes then it tells me high current on map sensor and dies. The measured voltage is always 12 to 13 volts so I am out of ideas. I have measured the wires with a vom and all was good. Anybody with any ideas??

So you have 12-13v coming from your map?

I don't think that is correct. Most sensors only put out a max of 5v which is reference voltage.
