[RESOLVED] Reading my Guage

[bjbaxter]

This might sound a little dumb to some of you, but i am going to be buyin a couple guages for the car and im a little confused about something, pretty much just the boost guage. Some of the gauges i was looking at have different readings on them. One gauge i looked at had the readings in psi and another had some reading like this from the bottom up... (75,50,25,0,0.5,1,1.5 ) between each number there were 4 marks. How do you read this gauge and how is it different from a gauge that has the psi numbers on it??? Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot

Not sure how those gauges are messured in vac. But the boost is measured in bar pressure. 1 bar = 14.7psi

I'm such a dumbass, I didnt even think about it being measured in bars!!! haha. thanks man

I suggest going with PSI since we here in the great US use PSI more then anything else.

Yeah man i hear you on that one!! haha. It's not a real big deal to me though, I'm pretty good with the whole conversion thing so it's no biggy. I just asked about that one because I'm going to buy a trim piece that goes around the speedometer housing that holds two gauges in it and the only boost gauge that they offered was in bars so i wasnt sure about that at first. Once again, thank you guys for your help
