Have just had a Lamco boost gauge installed but I'm not familiar with the units on the scale in relation to readings in Bar. The gauge starts at -.1 and ends at .15. Anyone help?

Thanks, how does that relate to the scale on the gauge which is in MPa. At idle it reads between 0 and -.1 rising to .1 when the boost kicks in.

The above equasion will translate that for you. Basicly you'll be sitting around 18-20in hg vacuum on tickover ranging upto 13-14 psi on full boost. hth
