I just bought one from a US member for $30 shipped hehe

gotta watch carefully. i waited a while before i found one.

you could maybe bring it to the attention of our US members though, that we canadians may well prefer a PSI gauge if they have it layin around

Kpa isnt stupid, its more precise, I do all my data logging based on kpa, and its what the stock computer is based on so its easier to transfer your findings over to HP tuners

Thanks for your input. Maybe more precise, but try having a conversation with someone about it. Most people don't know what kpa is. They all ask Psi, so I try to convert it as close as possible. I tell them I'm boosting at 85 kpa and they are like what??? So I think it would be nice to have the Psi one.

kPa is WAAAYY easier to use cause you get it for boost and vacuum not this stupid dual PSI and in Hg stuff.. welcome to the 1970's


and its easier to figure out in your head too.. since atmospheric pressure is approximately 100kpa.. its much easier to figure out on the fly.. not stupid 14.7 crap..

Quick now.. what is 1/2 atmospheric pressre in kPa.. now how bout PSI.. (which is easier to think about..?)

I guess i use kPa far more often than PSI so im used to it

KPA is just a smaller unit of measurement thats all.
psi X 6.89 = KPA

and Ive used PSI so extensively, that its just far more convenient for me.

Hey, what can I say? I'm a nice guy.

Have you recieved it yet?? Or did the USPS guy lie to me about the time it takes?
