It's a called a "bar" kg/m^3 1.0 = 14.7 psi I believe. Auto meter gauge is cheap and good to go with. I still have this gauge also but never read it.

If your car is not modified then that is correct boost levels from the factory. It actually reads in kg/cm^2 which 1.4=19.9psi

Lol yeah I guess m^3 wouldn't be much pressure. I wasn't worried about the units I'm sure he just wants to know what psi he is running lol Thanks for the correction Thpugh misinformation is a downer

The stock boost gauge is actually relatively accurate, compared to a logged MAP sensor. We've talked about all this quite a bit. Might not be a bad idea to plug yourself into Search, as a new Evo owner, and spend some time reading. Good luck.

as you can prob see from my daily activity all my down time goes into sitting on the site and reading about different things. i do find the search feature on this forum to be quite.... "crappy" for lack of better words, everytime i search stock boost gauge very few posts came up about the selected topic. maybe im just a retard and dont know how to use it hahah

IMO many forums lack a decent search. I always default to google. All that you have to do is search:


"mr boost gauge" site:evolutionm.net


you can replace "mr boost gauge" with whatever you want to search the forum. much more accurate IMO
