What Unit Of Boost Measurement Do You Use?

[Kennedy]

Hey Guys

Poll time. Which is your preference and why? It seems that everybody I meet uses PSI even though we live in a metric country? Any thoughts??

my boost gauge measures in kg/cm^2.. so I use that..

[AlexCim]

I have a PSI gauge because i bought an autometer boost gauge.

Though, i know how to convert from PSI to BAR pretty easily just using 1 bar = 14psi and 0.5 bar = 7psi, just work off those values and divide into halfs, quaters etc.

Hectopascals, so i can tell what the weather is going to be like.

psi, ive only seen ricers use the others, cause more than likely they come in a better lookoing gauge

[Sambo33]

i use a psi guage. i dunno, it seems easier to say 10psi than 0.8bar

[Coupe-This]

10 psi also sounds more, ahaha

i use psi, i always have, its just easier than saying .8 .9 bar etc.

Its like like wot boost u run, and some one says 10, we all know they mean 10psi, its just the common thing.

but yeah, personal preferance, doesnt really matter in the end, they all mean the same thing

mmm boost

When Im talking about boost I say it in PSI or BAR. But, on my EBC I use kPa. As a general reference I roughly convert them as 14.5psi = 1bar = 100kPa.

I think most use psi coz, its what the majority of the mags we read & import DVDs we watch say it.

quit living in the stone age.

metric system rocks.

psi cuz im over here in the us and its hard as fork to look down when doing highway pulls and calculating bar to psi in your head while avoiding traffic.

besides the e-01 displays it any way i like, psi, kpa, mm/hg, monkey powers whatever.

bar.

[inissane]

its the same sh*t but i reckon its just easier to read off the guage in psi unless ur a nutter running 2 bar or somin

[williamsf1]

BAR as it is the professional way to do it....

[grandmasterb]

Well it helps if you know and can read all

I normally use BAR as its sounds better

"So what boost ya running?"

"1.6BAR champ :lol: "

What.. you think saying i'm running 0.85 kilograms per centimetre squared isn't understandable .. your damn right!!..

Hardest is when you are trying to work out shit in your head.. it's the same as bar.. but just confusing when you get 0.66 or 0.41 or crap like that.. they're about 5psi and 8psi..

i have a psi guage which i generally look at, but on my avcr its in bar so if i do a memory recall or somehtin its generally in that

They are all good, but BAR, Psi and kg/cm^2 are the most common.

I like monkey power though (Carl H)
