17lbs of boost = how many bars of
does anyone know of a conversion chart or the formula for lbs of boost to bars of boost. Or at least how many bars of boost are in 17lbs.

I believe 1 bar of boost = 15lbs so just divide 17 by 15 and you get your answer.

1 Bar --> 14.7 psi

So... 17psi / (14.7psi/bar) = 1.15646 Bar

I found a chart and all of you guys are wrong.
1 bar is real close to 14.48 PSI and Gordon I hope you are not running 1.7 bar because it is not 17 PSI its almost 24.62 PSI. 17 PSI is just less than 1.2 bar.

Most people confuse bar with atm.

1 atm = 14.7psi.

whoah gordon, you could get someone in trouble saying that. someone might try to boost 1.7 bar thinking it's only 17psi, when it's more like 25psi.
