Thanks! I found a conversoin table on the net:

.1 kg/cm2 = 1.4 psi boost
.2 " = 2.8 psi
.3 " = 4.2
.4 " = 5.6
.5 " = 7.1 psi
.6 " = 8.5
.7 " = 9.9
.8 " = 11.3
.9 " = 12.8
1 kg/cm2 = 14.2
1.1 " = 15.6
1.2 " = 17.0 psi boost
1.3 " = 18.4
1.4 " = 19.9
1.5 " = 21.3 psi boost

1 kg/cm = 14.225 psi

1 bar = 14.48 psi

1 atm = 14.697 psi


2.0 bar = just about right

I was going by kg/cm2 = psi. My turbo meter measures in kg/cm2 on the positive side of 0.

Wow, I was going to make some big mistakes on my car. Here are some accurate numbers see if they match with the ones given above.

1 psi = 7.0309 x 10-2 kg/cm2 (.070309)
1 psi = 0.06893 bar

So you can see where one can get the misconception.

1 bar = 14.508 psi or lb/in²
1 kg/cm2 = 14.223 psi or lb/in²
