So I just got my black Cobalt ss/sc and I know I am to expect 12psi boost once the engine and everything is broken in. I wanted to see what kind of boost I was getting and I just noticed my gauge is in KPa. It goes from -140 to 100KPa. Does anyone know what the KPa to PSi convergents is? I am assuming mine is in KPa because I live in Canada, the whole metric thing.

 

82kpa is equal to about 12 psi, our ecu's cap out boost at 12.5 psi so its doubtful you seen 100kpa but there are flaws so you never know.....

 

Yes there are flaws, a friend of mine who took deliver of his SS the same day as me has an american boost guage in his from the factory! He had it for like a month until he even noticed it!. Wish mine had that "flaw". What the hell is a kilopascal anyways lol. like in back to the future "what the hells a gigawatt"?

 

I'm prety sure the Kpa guage has the limits of -140 and +100. Eh, then again, I'm in the , so clueless on

 

Mine always reads 10.21 Jiggawatts! I think it's broken but once I did go to 1954 for a week so that was kinda cool.

 

if 82Kpa = 12Psi, I am a happy camper because I have seen the gauge hit just over 80Kpa which means im getting all the boost I paid for!

 

Kpa is not just a canada thing. All the boost gauges on the wrx and sti in the states read in Kpa as well.

 

lol, mine too.. whenever I hit 88mph I end up in 1942...

 

1 psi = 6.894 kpa
