Hi all

Have this figure for boost on my 3rd gen with the power fc and have found a conversion table for this figure into psi, but the table says it\'s only  0.0012 ish, I know this can\'t be right, is there a problem with a sensor somewhere or am I converting wrongly, it says mmhg on the readout but I see you guys talking in other measures, bit confused, any help appreciated.

the conversion from mm\'s of mercury is correct

at a quick guess I would say the gauge is actually reading Bar and you are hitting around 11.3 PSI boost

OR if that is  metres of mercury you are hitting 15.1 PSI

Thanks Mike, this reading is in fact taken from the mumerical readout on the pfc, if you switch to the table graph readout, then the left hand side of the table graph is in .5 increments upto 1.5 which sound like it is, as you suggest, reading in bar, they would\'nt have each of the readouts in different measures would they? what dya reckon?

I would guess as the PFC is made within the last 15 years it would read in Bar as mm of hg is no longer really used. (appart from measuring vacuum I think)
