baro sensor is built into the ECU, try resetting.

Leave the battey disconnected for about 1/2 hour..
Better yet, unplug just the ECU for half an hour, that way you won't lose your radio presets and stuff..

Did you try using electric turbo on your car. So it threw the code for baro. I think this is what happens for tubro cars and thats why they use the stupid resitor. for missing link. People pay like 200 bucks for resitor. LOL

BTW, there's nothing u can do about it really, the BARO is built into the ECU and it compares its reading w/the MAP and sees if they are within a certain range of each other.

What ECU is it? If it's OBD1, I think I can disable the baro for you, but I'll have to chip the ECU in order to make it read a non-stock program. The strange thing is, a lot of JDM and Euro ECUs don't have a baro at all..
