Greddy Boost Gauge

[nic411]

i feel realy stupid for having to ask this, but what does a greddy boost gauge read. it says kg/cm2. is that the same as PSI or not. if not what is it. i was thinking about upping the boost a little bit, but not sure if my gauge is reading 5.5psi or 5.5 something else. thanks in advance.

that is in kilograms per square centimeter...to convert to psi you will multiply the kg/cm^2 value by 14.223.

If your gauge is reading 5.5 kg/cm^2 I think you might want to find a new drivetrain

it's not actually 5.5, it's .55. i was thinking about PSI...i originally thought it was 5.5 psi. that means i'm running .5 bar right? thanks for the help man..

.55 kg/cm^2 is roughly .53 bar or 7.8 psi
