You can change it to psi but i think it will change the rest of the measurements to standard units (ie kilometers to miles).

You can change it over to PSI. But it changes everythign so Celsius will be farenheit, km to miles etc.

you cannot change it to psi through the dic the gage needs to be replace with a psi one and if the some one knows of one to use please post it cause it is really annoying. the numbers are microscopic on kpa one

To get a rough kpa/psi conversion, simply divide the kpa number by 7.

Just find someone in the USA selling their stock PSI boost gauge and swap it out with yours.

I ordered a boost gauge from CED and it was around $120 shipped. The tpms is garbage so I don't even pay attention to it

That is next in line for me in terms of modding the interior, I most certainly want one sooner than later

was it a direct bolt in?

Yeah. You take the panel off and unscrew to bolts, unclip the wires, take the old one out, put the new one in, plug it in and put the 2 bolts back on and then put the panel back on and done. 10 minutes max!
