boost gauge question
Being new to tuning for SC set up, what is the deal with reading bars? How does this help anything, can I get a boost gauge that reads psi? Seems like this makes logical sense but I haven't seen one. Anyone make one that reads in psi?
Thanks for your info!

1 BAR = 14.5psi.
I dont like there to be a whole lot of thinking involved when I'm reading my boost gauge so I currently have an Autometer but I plan on swapping that out with an AEM gauge.

Hey, if you deal in Metric then Bar makes complete sense. If you deal in PSi like people from the 19th century and americans, then PSi makes sense.

My god, inches, yards, cubics, drams, pennyweights. It's like a history lesson.
Yes 1Bar is a large unit. That's why they invented the decimal point. Most Bar gauges have a reading of two decimal places.
It all comes back to the units you are used to. If you assume everything is psi then a psi gauge is what you want. But the modern world works in Bar. And meters and centimeters.
That's why you lost that Mars probe.
