Hi all,

Gonna buy a boost gauge as im starting to put me dashboard together, have seen a few gauges but am a bit confused as iv read on here that the boost is set at around 7psi, most of the gauges iv seen are BAR not PSI. *indifferent*

Which type would be best to get?

Cheers matt :)

personally i like the PSI type guage, i had a BAR type guage but boost figures are generally talked about in psi, which just makes things easier really!

so long as you know what the maximum boost you can run is whether its in psi or bar it dont matter really *smiley*

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Bar to PSI conversion: Multiply by 14.504
PSI to bar conversion: Multiply by 0.069
