I am looking for a piece called a "missing link" it is a spacer with a check valve in it that places the stock MAP sensor further from the intake manifold thus letting the sensor read less p.s.i Does anyone know where I can find one of these? I have and 05 SRT-4 Thanks

Not sure who, if anyone, is making one but if you're trying to do what I think you're trying to do it wouldn't be hard to make something yourself. The concept isn't really new and is basically installing a bleed or a ball-and-spring check valve between the manifold source and the MAP sensor to either lower the boost the computer sees or limit the max amount it will see. Using either method is not going to be super precise and can be a little difficult to dial-in then you have to deal with keeping the orifice/valve clean, etc., but they can work pretty well. If you're trying to limit the max boost the PCM will see by using a ball-and-spring (mini pressure regulator) valve you might also consider using a simple MAP clamp (adjustable Zener diode) instead. If you're trying to lower the amount of boost the computer sees everywhere by using a bleed on the MAP sensor that would be kind of like using a piggyback (DTEC, S-AFC, eManage) but not as adjustable.
You looking for something like this

The Synapse Engineering Missing Link is primarily used for blocking any pressure from reaching the MAP sensor on a naturally aspirated car that's been turbo/supercharged. It's not adjustable and it's not going to do you much good on a OEM turbocharged car. Do as BlackBird suggested and get a MAP clamp.
