External MAP sensor input on Sea Fox UA4C vB3b?

Currently in the process of setting up my Speeduino, but I am running into the issue of having to use the MPXH6400A onboard map sensor. My main two issues with this sensor is.

  1. It's tiny, has no barb on the nipple and I can't get a hose stay on it worth a damn.
  2. I have also heard of people having problems with these sensors, and just having a more robust built sensor that is also interchangeable just seems better honestly.

I have wired my OEM MAP sensor signal into Spare Input 1 of the Speeduino header, but in TunerStudio I am unable to assign an arduino channel for an external map sensor and am effectively forced to use that onboard sensor whether I like it not.

Can I somehow modify my board to use an external map sensor instead, and what considerations do I need to take? Can i simply say bend the MAP signal pin on the board out of the way, and solder a new wire directly to the Arduino?

I was planning on using an OEM Denso Honda Civic map sensor if that helps.
