Which do people prefer
Hello people can I ask a quick question.
Which style boost guage so you prefer?
Psi or bar?
Me personally I like the psi gauge as it shows a definate figure ie 10 psi etc.
I have had a bar one before but it was 0.7 bar boost.
Sorry if it seems an odd question its just I cannot sleep as i pick up my vitessein a few hours and im actually very excited.
Thanks Thomas

Re: Which do people prefer
I'd say it depends how much boost you're running - it would be easier to keep an eye on higher boost levels on a Bar gauge imo.

I think PSI because you can quickly look at the scale 15psi makes more sense than 1.1 bar etc

Re: Which do people prefer
For Rover tuners, it's Got to be PSI surely?
Not many people run big pressure systems

PSi for me, whenever I read a bar gauge I am converting it to psi.

Re: Which do people prefer
Do it the old school way hit boost cut then back of a bit no guage needed [emoji38]
Re: Which do people prefer
Thankyou everyone I really appreciate your views.
I love the hitting boost cut one.
When I had my 620ti my father and I were in Tesco car park and we turned the bleed valve a little and took it down the road.
The boost cut came in and came as a shock how fierce it was my dad told me off for jabbing the brakes
