1 bar = 14.504 psi

14.7 psi is the normal atmospheric pressure

.... noobs ... :taun:

how do you not understand a boost gauge?? before i flame, im assuming that he/you bought a car with it already installed

actually, atmospheric pressure, or bars is dependant upon your altitude. at sea level (0 ft) its 14.7 psi,

the higher you are the lower it is

thats what i thought too...

[miro_gt]

^ yes. That's why I said "normal" atm. press., which happens to be at sea level

EDITed due to my spelling incapabilities, lol
