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.
 
0.8bar = 11.4 psi
1bar = 14.5psi
1.2barr = 17.4psi
1.5bar = 21.751psi
 
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)
 
here's a full PSI->BAR conversion charts...
