Help with stock boost guage

Can anyone tell me how to read stock boost guage?
I think it says kg/cm or something
Mine goes up to like 14 at the peak and goes down to like 11 or 12 as rpm rises
How to convert this to psi or bar? I'm confused Help plz~

this will help...obviously, select the pressure calculator...


I use to use this website for everything...school, car, and cooking...

now i only use it for car and cooking...


but from it looks like, you're good...you have a stock boost set on peaking a bit over 19 psi and tapering at around 15 psi.

but a bit more....don't know how you're getting this variable...the stock boost tap might be wrong as debated to death on this forum.

14 would be 1.4 bar, and i think around 20 psi, but i'd have to do the actual math but the 1.4 bar is pretty easy math.

yeah conversion is too easy...

I want a boost gauge that measures at "meter of head"

Wow Thanks! The site is very helpful!
Looks like i'm running 20psi at the peak and tapering at around 15psi which is about right for 05 turbo.
