My last car came from the factory with a boost gauge installed and that was in Bar

i would prefer PSI though (as i do when doing tyres)

Utimately the benefit of the boost gauge is going to be the way the needle swings...
Any peak values you can remember and convert at home if thats an issue.  :wink:
bar is european std but in all honesty I prefer psi
either way its gonna be useful  :happy2:

once you have a gauge then you will understand that you dont even need the numbers on it as you will notice where it peaks and if its any different then you will know you have a problem  :smiley:
