fcapo,

the PFC reads the vacuum in mmHg and the boost in bars...so you need to convert bar to psi

7psi = 0.48 bar

10 psi = 0.69 bar

14.5 psi = 1 bar

Did anybody notice Google does conversions too?

I wonder when they started doing this?

Hello Bob,

It actually reads in ATM, which is measured in kg/cm^2. 1 ATM=14.2 psi. Pretty close to one bar, but not quite.

As an aside, please post more pics of your badass ride.....it's too bad i don't still have my FD in dfw, I think both of ours side by side would look nice in a photo shoot.

take it easy--

Ahh I thought it was in bar. Apologies. The ride is back at the paint shop. So it's still going to be awhile. I'll post pics after I get the rims in.

Thanks Rich for the comments on the car! I wish mine looked as good as Donny's.
