MAP sensors sense absolute pressure. So 0kPa is absolute vacuum, 100kPa is athmospheric pressure, 200kPa is "1 bar boost". Thus any boost sensed by MAP will register as 100kPa + boost. 140kPa is 0.4 bar boost or something like 6 psi or so.
Speak for yourself, we are at 92kPa ambient so I am already making boost at 100!
