ORIGINAL: *~Daaaamn~* anything that deal with what a car is made up of besides...the basics such as an engine and timing belts and all that jazz...everything else...yeah...wouldn't know[:)] Oh ok well here is what I was talking about... in a turbo car what a turbo does is compresses the air that is entering the Engine and most read the boost\pressure entering the engine in PSI, or the people who can do math read in BARs which is metric. atmospheric pressure is 14.7 in metric that 1, so 14.7 PSI= 1 BAR .... 1.1Bars is roughly 16.2 PSI all you do to convert is multiply 14.7 by x.xBars so 14.7 x 1.1= 16.17. metric is much easier to read on a gauge while driving you just need to do some math in your head. I just find it funny when people who act like they know cars inside and out and they look at the metric boost gauge and cant tell it is metric the assume it is PSI, so when they see my pic of my gauge reading boost at 1.1 bars and I get teh question asked why does your EVO only run 1PSI i laugh. here is a pic of the 2 gauges the one that reads to 40 is PSI the one that reads to 2 is BARs [image]local://upfiles/3652/76A0076165DD432898B7705E44ED1F69.jpg[/image] [image]local://upfiles/3652/00919158A5024EAF92601D00D7858CB9.jpg[/image]
