Differnce between boost gauges???

Searched but nothing. Sorry if there happened to be one that i skipped but, my question is.

What is the difference between a boost gauge that reads 2.0 bar and Psi? Like i mean...what are the pros and cons?? I DD my evo so which would be better?

Nothing. Just different measurements. Kind of like miles to kilometers...or meters to feet.

Another thing to think about is how much boost you plan on running. If you are going to run very high boost i would get a guage that wouldnt max out. And Just like 4g63-Kid said, the only difference is Standard and Metric.

Mainly its just what you prefer. Bar is relative to atmosperic pressure. At sea level its 14.7psi. So 1BAR is 1 times atmospheric and 2BAR is 2 times and so on. I personally prefer psi
