Boost Gauge Question

MaxPSI · 07-11-2001, 07:00 PM

I want to set my mbc to 14.2 psi but my boost gauge is in units of MBa. How do I convert this? When driving the highest I have seen the boost get is .1 MBa. I assume this is 14.2 psi but I want to be sure.

It should have been MPa.

Thanks for the help.

Hey MaxPSI,
Here's a pressure conversion calculator:

To get from bar to MPa, multiply by .1 as yebokmj's example shows.

Take care,
