Trying to set up my dawes device looking at my boost gauge to find that it ant psi or bar its kg/cm2. How do you covert psi or bar in kg/cm2 i have set it to 1.1kg/cm2 goes very well no fuel cut but just need to know what pressure it is.

All the Lamco's I've seen over-read a bit too (mine included ) - you should maybe find out how accurate yours is.

Mine under reads. When the engine is switched off the needle doesn't stay right on zero. It stays a tad under. When it was brand new it used to sit smack bang on zero. Others have this probem too.

Cheers,

Wrexy.
