1 bar = 14.5037738 pounds per square inch, thank you google giggity googly goo



Now the "boost" gauges are at 0.0 psi and/or 0.0 Bar even with the engine off....this is wrong because we live at a 1.0 Bar "atmosphere" at sea level no? So these dang gauges are actually off because it should all be added with one atmosphere.


The atmosphere is the entire mass of air that surrounds the earth. While it extends upward for about 500 miles, the section of primary interest is the portion that rests on the earth’s surface and extends upward for about 7 1/2 miles. This layer is called the troposphere. If a column of air 1-inch square extending all the way to the “top” of the atmosphere could be weighed, this column of air would weigh approximately 14.7 pounds at sea level. Thus, atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 14.7 psi
