Correct, that has been the problem from the start. The Limitation is a BHP limitation, therefore referring to MAP as a limitation is not the best way to convey the information to the pilot (in my view).
There will be situations where given certain atmospheric conditions where a reasonable amount of carb heat has to be applied to keep the CAT needle out of the yellow will result in the MAP indication being greater than the MAP limit - I cannot fly, even if I know the actual BHP is not being exceeded.

Keep them in the green, best wishes
