Boost Gauge...where is 5.5 PSI
from what i have read in the past few days im learning that boosting to the top of the guage is bad...? where is 5.5 PSI about located on the gauge, and should i be boosting to the top like i am right now? is this a sign that my cat has burned out and i am getting some boost creep?
Thanks,

5 = 1.0 psi
10 = 1.9 psi
15 = 2.9 psi
20 = 3.9 psi
25 = 4.8 psi
30 = 5.8 psi
35 = 6.8 psi
40 = 7.7 psi
The boost guage reads out in units of millimeters of mercury. We like to see our pressure readout in psi (pounds/square inch). The conversion factor is .1934. Crunching thru the figures, we get: What J-RAT said.

what would cause me to boost higher than im supposed to be...is there a good chance its the cat? or is there something else that i should be looking for. i have a boost gauge that came with my car. i just didnt put it in because it goes up to like 50 PSI cause the kid that bought it was so dumb. he thought he needed something with a range that high. oh well ill use it anyways.
