Guys, I ordered a BAR measured boost gauge for my car, not a psi, it will still read accurately right? Stupid question, just making sure because if not I'm going to send it right back, i just like the BAR measurement better. Thanks!

 

What are you connecting it to? Why wouldn't it read right?

 

reads the same as PSI but just measured in BAR

 

the factory one is an electronic boost controller, from what I hear anyhow, and reads off of a signal from the bcm. I think if you wanted to go more accurate, you'd swap into a mechanical boost guage. Just my .02. Either way, your guage should work fine.

 

It will still read accurately. However reading the gauge sucks because your not used to it. Just ask my how I know, my stock boost gauge reads in bars. It's odd looking down at full boost and seeing 1.3 bars. Remember that 1 bar is roughly 15 psi.

 

yea lol it'll work fine the question is do you really want to remember bar->psi conversion
wouldn't bother me but i'm used to the bar conversions cause turbo stuff is all rated to that

 

the factory guage isent a boost controller

 

Wow I will deffinately have to get used to that lol, I just wanted to make sure it will accurately measure bar because it came stock with PSI, Thankyou for the kind input dudes!!

 

can i have your stocker then? pay ya for it, mine is in Kpa, and i have no idea what 100kpa boost is lol

 

Nate (ssyellow) is stopping by Friday to help me install my gauges, I told him he could have the stock gauge along with some money. But seein that he doesn't have a Balt right now he might not want it. I'll ask and PM you later!

 

didn't mean to call it that. thx though.
