Defi Boost Q

I'm trying to get my hands on some Defi gauges and in searching i've noticed a different in Boost GAuges..

There's a Boost and then there's a Turbo Boost.... KPA and PSI..

what's the difference?

the KPA will not tell you vaccuum, only KPA(kilopascals). I believe low numbers in KPA is actually vaccum. The boost one would be your best bet. It will tell you bar or psi and give you vaccuum too

14.7psi = 101.3kPA = atmospheric pressure

Thats what I just did. The beauty of the BFRs is they almost match the stock guages. Since the factory gauges are in Imperial units I thought it made more sense to go with Imperial units on my Defis as well, although SI units actually make more "sense" IMO.
