One bar = 14 psi.

No no..... They sell the gauge in BAR and PSI formats, but the only description of the gauge I can find shows just the BAR range, I want to know what the PSI range is. the BAR gauge goes up to 2.0 BAR, that being 28 PSI .. I have never seen a gauge that stops at 28 PSI. I need to know if it goes to 30? 15? 40? PSI.... I want to buy the PSI formatted gauge. But I chalenge someone to find a picture, or range description of that gauge in PSI .. I have seen 100 photo's while I searched this morning, but all BAR gauges. I would like to know the full range, in vaccum and boost.

I checked like 15 supplies web pages, no range description, I even checked APEX'I page .. no picture in PSI, or range description. But yet every page says (avalible in PSI format)

I think we was referring to the actual A'PEXi gauges in PSI and BAR. He wants to know what PSI the gauge goes up to and what the scale is I think.

**edit**

Damn waited to long to type the reply. I'll see what I can find out. I do know someone that was getting the APEXi gauges a while back, but never saw his car since.

I've heard you can dremel out the a pillar one if you want. Or buy a mounting cup from summit and mount it on your dash or something. Thats how I have a my 60mm greddy one.

I have the older Apexi 60mm mechanical boost gauge in PSI. The face doesn't light up though like the EL's. Only the numbers and the markings light up.
