Question Turbo Pressure Sensor/ Replacement

My 2013 3.5 just started throwing this code (turbocharger inlet pressure sensor) last month. Did some research and it seems to be a MAP or MAF sensor? There are a total of 3. One right by the air filter, one on top of the motor under the removable cover, and one on another "air tube" near the front passenger side by the radiator and battery. I removed all of them and cleaned them with CRC MAF sensor cleaner. Seemed to work for a few weeks but now my check in is on and its reading the same code. Now I'm by no means a mechanic as you can tell by my lingo haha! I'm guessing that the sensor in question is the one near the radiator/ battery, just because it seems the closest to the turbo.. but I could be wrong. 2 of the sensors are identical and the third very similar. Trying to buy replacements has been a task. The local auto parts store quoted me $80, then said I also have one that's $45.00. Then when you look online, E Bay has them for $15, with a 2yr warranty but they aren't official Ford parts. Then I attempted to find a replacement on Ford Parts.com.... nothing much made sense as my search just brought up every type and variation sensor and again varying prices from $35-$120.00. Any help or clarifications on this would be of great help! My apologies for the giant pics, still trying to figures things out haha!

you have the correct one, did you test the circuit to make sure that its alright? You have a circuit code not a sensor code

Ah.. no I didn't think about that but makes sense! I'll have to do some research to see what that entails and if that's something I can tackle myself.
