MAP is determined by barometric pressure, minus inlet duct/component pressure losses. It is possible to have a barometer over 100kPa, so it should be possible to have a MAP over 100kPa. Of course if you go to Death Valley (below sea level) it will be easier.

It is possible to have a cylinder pressure even higher than manifold pressure, when pressure wave tuning is considered.

Cool

When sending Private Messages and E-mails, please understand that I get many requests for help, and can not respond to all of them. If I do not respond to yours, please do not take it personally - I just can't answer every question. Thanks for understanding!
That's one problem I don't have...
