I'm sure a 140 deg turn to final is not allowed, I don't know exactly what parameters the approach controller requires before he can clear you for a straight in ils approach. Something like within 40 degrees of the final app course, and at an altitude that allows you to intercept the GS after the localizer, plus maybe a few more requirements.
