MAP sensor (2bar) typical voltage vs manifold pressure:

100kpa (atmospheric) is circa full throttle on a normally aspirated engine, so one bar of boost equals 200kpa map pressure and about 5volt signal. -5 volts is the max signal, his is why turbocharged cars need a map sensor that can measure above atmospheric pressure.
