1 bar = 14.7 psi

so 30psi = +/- 2 bar
 
If I am not mistaken, this suppose to be a vacuum and boost meter. If you put it on a N/A engine, the reading will be in in/HG so, it is functioning as vacuum meter. If you put in a turbo car, it will read PSI, which makes it a boost meter.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.
 
In that case, my boost is only 0.8..Cz it goes to 12 PSi..Sad..Sad..Low boost..0.8 is low right? Or still consider high jugak a bit?
 
slightly higher than normal i would say (but, different car had their own stock boost)

a stock gsr, running at 10 psi (bout 0.68 bar)
 
My car is half stock Daihatsu Charade GTti cz just changed body throttle (larger hole)..Previously only 0.4 bar (stock)..After change body throttle, it's up a bit o 0.8 bar..So, slightly high la? Ok..Thankssss folks for all your helps..

All auto manufacturers have their own special trademark that makes them unique from the others. Subaru for example is famed for its burbling Boxer engine, and Porsches will always have that evergreen styling feature that is somehow still acceptable in the eyes of today, even though it does not have that much...
