Boost pressure conversion charts.

Does your boost gauge read in kpa, bar, or anything other than good ol' psi?

Here's something for you. This chart will allow you to enter in your info and find out what boost that you're running at.

no, the stock boost guage reads in megapascals or mPa

Here's a faq!

Q: What's the stock boost of a 02-05 WRX?
A: 13.5 PSI

Q: My stock boost guage reads in mPa. How many of those is 13.5 PSI
A: .093 mPa = 13.5 PSI so roughly just shy of .1 on your boost guage

Any more and I'll add em on here.

Guys if you have AIM, add SmarterChild to your buddy list. It's a bot that can answer just about anything you can throw at it. For conversions just type in what you want.

IE:
Trevor723: convert 1 bar to psi
SmarterChild: One bar is 14.503774 pounds per square inch.
(1 bar = 14.503774 psi)

Trevor723: convert 850C to F
SmarterChild: 850 celsius degrees are 1,562 fahrenheit degrees.

It's awesome.

Cool Nick.

I was thinking about this after Nick posted his. If you guys want to, we should try to add as many of these as possible to this thread. It would make this a pretty nice tool/faq for boost related info.

So with that being said,

Keep em' coming.
