Bob Rawle doesn't trust your boost guage......he'll plumb his own in, which is in BAR LOL
Presumably other mappers use thier own ?? Only ever been in the car with Bob during mapping.

We went metric in 1971 for christ's sake !
Hence all our signs still being in miles
Whatever suits you TBH, I just wish that the Defi went to 2.5 bar...

Bar is for countries like uk, and so are the temp gauages using deg c
countries like the us for eg. use psi for pressure and deg f for temp
thats why japan make both, due to the difference in the markets.
you can get an use both but you need to know or rather understand what the guage is telling you.
i avoided picking up amber defi's going well cheap on fleabay because they were in psi and deg f, i waited a few weeks and picked off some one at a time equally cheep in bar and deg c.
